College football fans debated whether it was the right call with some comparing Bennett’s fumble to Bryce Young’s non-fumble in the first quarter.

On the ensuing drive, Crimson Tide quarterback Bryce Young would find Cameron Latu in the end zone for a touchdown. Alabama would fail to convert the 2-point conversion but would take the lead, 18-13.

It was Alabama’s first touchdown of the game as they kicked four field goals prior to the 3-yard touchdown pass from Young to Latu.

It’s clear the call to rule Bennett’s pass attempt a fumble instead of incomplete will be a big moment of the game. It’s unclear just how much of an impact it will have on the final score.
