re: Simultaneous catch. Has it been discussed?

The first one was the correct call -- Auburn definitely got it -- and the second one probably wasn't. It happens.

Word. As as fan of the game, It's nice to know the official rule in this particular scenario. I knew abt sim. catch just not this part.

Let’s look at the NCAA Rule Book, Part 2, under "interpretations'' for the answer. Under the Completed Pass, Article 6, rule 7-3-6, section 2: Two opposing players receive a legal forward pass while both are off the ground, and one payer returns to the ground inbounds before the other. Ruling: No simultaneous catch. The legal forward pass is completed or intercepted by the player who first returned to the ground.
