Touchdown?
« on: September 20, 2021, 04:07:14 PM »
1st and goal for team A from the B-4 yard line. A24 takes the handoff and runs to the outside. He leaps from B’s 1 yard line in bounds. The ball in his possession crosses the goal line inside the pylon., but A24 lands out of bounds 2 yards beyond the goal line. Is this a touchdown?

Yes, as stated by CalhounLJ.
Case 8.2.1 Situation may help as it offers a reason for being a touchdown.
