He does not. Bama got this call a few years ago in BR.

Even in super slo-mo the ball is still moving.

This is the rule. What's the deal here?

Under NCAA Football Rule 4-2-3-a, a loose ball (not in player possession) becomes dead immediately when it touches anything that is out of bounds, including a player who is out of bounds or airborne out of bounds

Stupid guy calling the game doesn't seem to realize he doesn't need to possess the ball. Neither does the ESPN booth official.

Eh.. I don’t fault them for the call.. but it sure seems like a shaky thing.. so you basically need to just touch out of bounds then touch the ball on the ground and that’s possession. That’s what we learned here.

That rule rewards mediocrity, but it’s the rule

if a WR out of bounds tips a ball and it is caught in bounds.. it’s still incomplete, even without possession

Yeah. It just SEEMS like the player would need to have firm possession vs just touching.

I care less about the rule

I care more about it was clearly disputable, otherwise it wouldn’t have taken them 6 minutes to review.

There needs to be a time limit on reviews so long as indisputable is the rule.

I disagree, but thats just me personally. I think the caveat is if it possessed by the other team, then being OOB doesnt down the player if you touch them or the ball.
