Title: Cinn At NC State TD from OOB
Post by: Reff54 on September 17, 2010, 11:25:36 AM

in this game last night....there was a TD reviewed....where the player clearly stepped OOB about the 2...and just as he was about to get hit while half of him was still inbounds....he thrust the ball carrying arm  forward toward goal line....   It appeared to me  foot was on ground oob as he started the thrust of the ball carrying arm forward....but did not get ball to goal line plane before stepping oob.  they reviewed and rule TD   because camera angle was not on goal line...   anyone else wonder about that one...

I think the camera angles were so bad that there was no way they could say for sure that the ball hadn't broken the plane prior to him going OOB.  They had to stick with the ruling on the field.
