Title: Illegal touching
Post by: dammitbobby on November 09, 2019, 04:17:18 PM

I don’t have a video but surely some of y’all are watching LSU/Alabama - thoughts on that catch, and whether it was illegal touching or not?

Didn’t see it, but someone that did, told me that the receiver stepped OB, returned inbounds, then caught the pass AFTER it had been tipped by an opponent.  Legal catch.

Don't think there was a tip. The official story is that he was forced out and reestablished. The call was CONFIRMED.

I didn’t think he tipped it... commentators had Gene Steratore in, he said should have been illegal touching but since there wasn’t a flag, should have been incomplete.

Looks like they ruled he was forced out.

I'd like to see a better angle, but doesnt look like he reestablished to me. Foot went out and he went straight up to make the catch from OOB. INC ^no
