Someone help me understand

If Kansas State is saved from an obvious fumble sack by Leo Lewis in the 1st quarter because the qb’s arm was moving forward, then how is that incomplete pass not penalized as grounding? You can’t have it both ways.

Just from what I've seen, they don't call grounding on plays where the ball is tipped or the QB is hit because the ball is not going where he intended it to go.

First it was a bad reversal It was a fumble. But they originally called it a fumble not an intentional grounding. So they can't go back on the replay and switch to intentional grounding that wasn't originally called.They can only confirm reverse or let it stand.Not that they would have because they were giving us the shaft.

But But, they can call targeting from a replay, not called on the field.....

I think the refs could change the call to intentional grounding, since they originally did not think it was a pass, but they would have to be sure about the call. But, when a QB is hit from behind and it effects his throw, they give him a lot of leeway on grounding. There was a receiver over on that side of the play, and that was probably good enough.
