Tech O is inept and led by Dumb and Dumber OC. We will be the cure that ails UT football next week. 

Did you not watch the Baylor game?

I guess you guys have never watched college football, you have to control the ball all the way thru the touchdown.  I don't like the rule, but that's way it's been for a few years.

100% incomplete as per the rules.

He dropped it when he hit the ground.  You have to maintain possession.

when you cross the plane it's a TD... unless it isn't.

 

LOlz.  This fucking crew.

 

If Tech doesn't make the stop on the subsequent drive, it's a moot point, anyhoo.

 

Go fucking score, Raiders.

I think Iceman has it right.  When the ball breaks the plane -- the front edge of the white line -- it's a TD.  What happens afterward doesn't matter.

He has control. He was in bounds. He crossed the plane of the goal line after controlling the ball. Ball didn’t pop out until AFTER he hit th ground out of bounds. Which was well after he had control and crosses the plane of the goal line. That was a catch and a TD.

Tech's DBs look like they've never defended a pass before.

He did not have control all the way thru the catch.  You have to control the ball even if you land out of bounds and the ball pops out..  It seems like a BS rule, but it most definetly is the rule and not a catch.  The commentators are idiots for not knowing this.

Not if you have already established control and crossed the plane. Which he did. He didn’t lose the ball until after he hit the ground out of bounds well after. He has control and made a football move and crosses the plane.

It's not the rule. 

Did he go to the ground to make the catch? Or did he go to the ground because of contact with the defender?

The catch was made standing up.

Touchdown.

The maintaining control all the way to the ground rule was mis-applied.
