It's almost as if he's going into it looking for controversy. =\

What are you talking about?
1) Gurley loses possession (and contact with the ball) at about the 1 yard line.
2) Gurley steps out of bounds (while not in contact with the ball).
3) Ball hits plyon.
4) Gurley touches the ball after it hits the pylon, and secures possession while OOB. Of course, neither of these two things matter because by definition the ball is dead once it strikes the pylon.
