It sure looked to me like he made an effort to move the ball over the goal line, and when he did that, the ground caused a fumble which he quickly recovered. If the issue was did he have control of the ball, well, if he didn't, how could he deliberately try to stick it over the goal line? The standard for reversal of a call on the field is undisputed evidence showing it was wrong. No way.
Shame that a game comes down to that.
