Did anyone know this was a rule??

[QuestionSocratic]

So I was watching the Finebaum Film room on DVR and On the Mecole Hardman TD where he stepped out of bounds but it wasnt indisputible enough to overturn, he actually contacted Tony Brown while Brown was laying Out of Bounds,Gene Chizik said that their is a rule where if the ball carrier touches a defender who is out of bounds then they are by rule out of bounds also.


Thats a huge blunder by the officials, took what should have been after a penalty 1st and 10 at the Bama 32 and gave UGA a TD.

But I didnt know that was a rule.


Officials blew calls all night both ways. CFP needs to be stricter on who they pick to officiate.

That was my immediate reaction. I can actually remember that call being made this season, so I was pretty sure that was the rule.

It was a false start, if they make the correct call we should have been rekicking anyways. I think they called it offsides because the UGA player started running toward the LOS and 2 of our guys reacted.

That kind of proves the point. 2 Bama false starts
1 called offsides on Georgia
The other the tying TD
