I'll say it

I believe it was ruled a TD on the field. After reading this thread of did he or did he not re-establish himself go round and round. I feel that the replay booth was saying the same thing, thus not enough to overturn the ruling on the field. Just my opinion.
The interesting part about it is per section 11 of the officiating standards states that on scoring plays.
1. When in question it is not a touchdown.
2. When in question it is not a safety.
3. When in question it is a touchdown when the a non-airborne runner crosses the goal inside the pylon with the ball crossing the goal line extended.

Since there was disagreement between the back judge and the side judge it probably shouldn’t have been ruled a touchdown.

Regardless, the Weber kicker bangs the PAT through and likely if we have the same play call lose the game d/t the fumble.
 
I had coffee this morning with a long-time Pac12 official. Right call was made on the field. Also, for what it's worth, the white hat in this game is one of the best in FCS and has worked 2 NC games.

Look, I get the appeal to authority by quoting a nameless/faceless official, but can't anybody provide the written rules that say what is required for the player to correctly re-establish himself back in bounds? Some people say one foot down, others say two feet down. That's a big difference considering the receiver in this case only got one foot down (barely) before touching the ball. Several people have posted part of the rules but not the part that addresses what constitutes re-establishing oneself in the field of play.
 
Weber receiver absolutely had re established himself inbounds and made the TD catch. Its not even debatable, that is why the review by the officials was so fast and correct. Indisputable video evidence

Yeah I don't think so. The explanation was that the call on the field STANDS, not CONFIRMED. If the video evidence were indisputable, then they would have said confirmed. They also took a long time to review it, which usually means that there is a question of whether the call was correct or not. When the call in the field is correct, the review is usually done very quickly.

As well, simply reasserting your opinion over and over in order to sound more authoritative does nothing to convince others that you are correct. Facts and evidence are important.
 
The question as far as "re-establishing in bounds", do you have to have one foot in bounds? Two feet? Do your feet have to be touching the turf? Or does your body just have to be in the "field of play"? From replays, it looks like he may have one foot in possibly, but that's where the question of "What constitutes re-establishing in bounds"?

One foot in college football, just like the catch rule. the refs got it right
 
"In college football, a player must have at least one foot in bounds to re-establish themselves in the field of play after going out of bounds"

Whoooops. Rule was changed. Bing. Try it:

A player who is out of bounds is re-established when his second foot comes down in bounds, or if another body part (other than the hand, ankle, or wrist) touches in bounds when no part of the body is touching out of bounds.

So based on this rule... That catch was illegal and should have been a penalty since it wasn't tipped, at minimum, before he caught it.

Every official I have spoken too says 2 feet when a receiver goes out on his own, one foot when forced.
