Doesn’t matter, it wouldn’t be a safety no matter what. In fact, if it had ended up in the end zone it’s a touchback.
Even if Alabama recovers it?

Edit; you mean if Michigan recovers it. So you can just bat it into the end zone and get a touchback?

So Mac Jones doesn’t count for Alabama?
My point is that Mac, McCarron, and Young (and also Blake Sims) were overrated because of the talent around them, particularly on the O-line. Only Tua and Hurts would’ve been elite college QBs if they played for, say, Oklahoma State.

UW-UT will now be delayed. Why don't they space these games farther apart?
Not sure but the AFC/NFC championships do the same thing. Maybe they want minimal delay so people stay engaged and flip right to the next game after the first ends. Don’t want them flipping over to dancing with the stars.

It sucks that the second game starts at like 9 EST, though.

The NFL conference title games are slated for 3 and 6:30 EST, by comparison.

I think if he catches it at the one and then slides into the end zone before being touched, that would be a safety?
Momentum rule brings the ball out to the 1. Unless he recovers the ball, moves downfield, and then retreats back across his own goal line it’s basically impossible to get a safety

So your other examples did it on their own? 2 QBs (and one that dominated the NCAA but you won’t give credit to) in 20 years seems frigging fantastic!

Harbaugh has always put together impressive ass running schemes. I know Chicago is moving on from Fields, but that would be a fun pairing with a big FA RB signing.

I hate how the OT scores count like regulation scores. It’s so meaningless when you try to evaluate the game later and see 54-50 as the result of a game like this.
