NCAA clearly got the call wrong in the @CanesFootball vs @NDFootball game. I personally have no dog in the fight but as a fan of the game its getting old watching the refs and replay officials get it wrong. The NCAA has a rulebook for situations. Both situation #34 and #37 apply here. The offensive player catches the ball, gets his required 1 foot in bounds, gets a second foot in bounds, takes a third step out of bounds. At the time the third step is taken, both the offensive and defensive player are both out of bounds. The defender swats the ball loose causing the offensive player to lose possession. Since the offensive player remained upright, had possession, made a football act, and was already out of bounds. The correct ruling is a catch for a touchdown. The NCAA describes this sequence: 1. Receiver controls the pass and gets one foot down inbounds. 2. His other foot then touches out of bounds. 3. After a delay, a defender contacts him. 4. The receiver loses possession. Official NCAA ruling: Completed pass. @NCAAFootball @barstoolsports @ESPNCFB
