And BB73, isn't that what happened to what's-his-name for what's-their-team (maybe Arkansas?) back in '98, when they should have beated Tennessee for the SEC championship? They're up by 3 or 4 or so, they're running the clock out. Basically, all they need is another first down, and Ohio State is going to the first BCS national title game vs. Florida State. The QB fades back, stumbles, uses the hand that has the ball in it to brace himself, and regains his balance. Unfortunately, the ground caused the fumble, Tennessee got the ball, and later scored a touchdown to win the game.

Clint Stoerner was the QB that stumbled and lost the ball for Arkansas, when they were close to running the clock out against the Vols. I'm not sure if the ball or his hand hit the ground, although he was definitely untouched by a defender. And it wasn't the SEC championship game, it was a mid-November game. Mississippi St. actually made the SEC championship game in 1998.
