You couldn't tell if he had control of the football when his right shoulder hit the ground, but as the rest of his body was falling back, you could tell he had control of the ball before his left shoulder went out of bounds.Don't think on the reviewed play there was enough evidence that he had control of the ball before he was out of bounds. Think it was bad call by the replay official.
No, not as long as you have control in bounds and the ball doesn't touch ground. Guys juggle catches all the time, right? And it always counts unless they get control before going OB. Catching/gaining control on the ground is fine.You couldn't tell if he had control of the football when his right shoulder hit the ground, but as the rest of his body was falling back, you could tell he had control of the ball before his left shoulder went out of bounds.Don't think on the reviewed play there was enough evidence that he had control of the ball before he was out of bounds.

By the spot, it was a touchdown.
However, i didn't think it was catch anyway. Don't you have to have control of the ball the entire time while you are coming down?
I think we'll get Stanford if they win out. I think they have to beat UCLA twice. Crazy day!I don't want to play Oregon in the Rose Bowl...this sucks.
