Catch rule

[El Simbolo]

i know the NFL tweaked it’s catch rule, so after UNIs second TD wasn’t reviewed I thought maybe NCAA had too. So I looked it up - not because I’m pissed we gave up 14 instead of 7 or 10, but just for future reference.

Anyway...
Airborne receiver A85 grasps a forward pass and in the process of going to the ground, first contacts the ground with his left foot inbounds as he falls to the ground out of bounds. Immediately upon A85 hitting the ground out of bounds, the ball comes loose. RULING: Incomplete pass regardless of whether or not the ball hits the ground because the receiver is out of bounds.

So clearly NOT a catch, but good for that kid getting a TD in Kinnick - is he an Iowa kid?

Follow up question, typically in garbage time do the replay officials just relax and stop reviewing things? I honestly can’t remmeber

that ball did come loose... I didn't notice that last night... but seeing the replay.... that is definitely an incomplete pass...

amazing really... when you consider UNI got their first touchdown because of a bogus pass interference call

Yes, he's an Iowa kid. Went to Springville high school just down the road from IC, teammate of Jake Hulett who graduated as a hawk last year. Played 8 man football and scored 59 TDs his senior year as a running back.

Good - glad it counts
