The ball bounced away and into the hands of Brian Branch, who then stepped out of bounds. The officials would rule that the ball was actually fumbled by Bennett and recovered by Branch before the defender stepped out of bounds.
After further review, the call on the field stood.

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’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.
