A guy has 2 feet in the endzone, but he catches the ball which is underthrown and out of bounds on the 1 yard line. He catches the ball while leaning out of boundd with 2 feet in the endzone. I think it is touchdown other believe it is down at the 1 yard line. Pleasse prove the answer with the rule books.
TIA
No TD.
Keep in mind that the ball -- not the receiver determines.
By the way -- the goal line extends out of bounds -- so if he managed to get the ball over the extended goal line before going out of bounds himself -- it would be a TD.
But the way you posed it -- no TD.
Ball on the 1 yard line.
Good question. I am not sure however, it would seem to me if he gets both feet down and is in possesion of the ball in the end zone, since he was inbounds I believe it is a touchdown.
Frank is correct. The ball must break the plane of the endzone. In the described situation, the ball would be placed on the one yard line.
Stumble It!
