The interesting part about it is per section 11 of the officiating standards states that on scoring plays.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.
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.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.

You thought that review was fast? It took almost 5 minutes. That was an eternity.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.Weber receiver absolutely had re established himself inbounds and made the TD catch.

One foot in college football, just like the catch rule. the refs got it rightThe 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"?
Post the written ruleOne foot in college football, just like the catch rule. the refs got it right
Whoooops. Rule was changed. Bing. Try it:"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"

Google does not write the NCAA rulebook. Try again."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"

try it out
So proven wrong he runs. Outstanding.What would I know I only played the game. You guys enjoy yourself the rest of the week but remember the refs got the call correct
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.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.

Rule loophole closed on out-of-bounds receivers
A loophole in the catch rules for receivers that step out of bounds was closed by one of the rule changes that will take effect in 2016.www.footballzebras.com

A player who steps out on their own can not return to the field for that play regardless of how many feet they get in. The re-establishment rules only apply to a player who is forced out. That is true for both NCAA and NFL.That rule is not for receivers forced out. It is for a receiver that steps out on their own.
