They scored more points than Michigan State which is equally as sad
As a Texas fan, I can appreciate jokes about bad offense

Yes. I believe the rule is if you land on a defender out if bounds, you are out of bounds. If a defender is out of bounds and tags a player in bounds, the ball carrier is still in bounds.
^CFP is still working.
Wrong officials, right teams!!!
The way the rule reads...I don't believe that would be correct.
If he landed on a player who was out of bounds, and he never touched the ground himself
he wouldn't be considered out-of-bounds. Not until a portion of his body touched.
A player is not a part of the ground. He is a player.

I believe the intended interpretation of this rule is: if a player merely brushes against another player or official who is out of bounds (i.e. - a player's upper body, arm, or the side of his foot makes contact with an out-of-bounds person) then the player in motion is still inbounds; but if the player steps on an out-of-bounds person it would be the same as making contact with the ground out of bounds.
That is what I thought but a read the ruleI believe the intended interpretation of this rule is: if a player merely brushes against another player or official who is out of bounds (i.e. - a player's upper body, arm, or the side of his foot makes contact with an out-of-bounds person) then the player in motion is still inbounds; but if the player steps on an out-of-bounds person it would be the same as making contact with the ground out of bounds.
WHAT???????????????? A player is OOB if he touches a pylon? That can't be right. How many times have you seen a TD scored with the ball touching the pylon.That is what I thought but a read the rule
Player Out of Bounds
ARTICLE 1. a. A player is out of bounds when any part of his person touches
anything, other than another player or game official, on or outside a boundary
line (Rule 2-27-15) (A.R. 4-2-1-I and II).
b. An out-of-bounds player who becomes airborne remains out of bounds
until he touches the ground in bounds without simultaneously being out
of bounds.
c. A player who touches a pylon is out of bounds.
If you jump in the air, catch the ball, kick the pylon; you are out of bounds. The pylon is part of the lines.WHAT???????????????? A player is OOB if he touches a pylon? That can't be right. How many times have you seen a TD scored with the ball touching the pylon.

In order to touch the pylon, you have to break the plane of the goal line. If you reach out with the ball and touch the pylon, you have broken the plane, which is why it is a touchdown.WHAT???????????????? A player is OOB if he touches a pylon? That can't be right.

Bammervision.I think he was OOB on the play...but only cause his heel touched.
Well, that is still not clear to me. If you are OOB you can't score a TD. Or do you score before to are OOB? I understand what the vertical plane of the goal line is, but someone said the pylon is a sideline and a goal line. How can it be both?Is it divided in 4 quarters? There is no way a ref, or a camera can see which quarter of the pylon the ball touches first. I not trying to be as ass, it just doesn't seem clear, and needs to be understood better. I'm not referring to anything that happened in the GA AL. game. I'm just asking about the statement that if a player touches a pylon, he is OOB. I don't see how it can be both.In order to touch the pylon, you have to break the plane of the goal line.

I don't know how to explain it any better. it is impossible to touch the pylon without breaking the plane.Well, that is still not clear to me. If you are OOB you can't score a TD.

Yeah, I think it's one of those things that seems like it might be out of bounds at first but when you think about it there's no way a defender can stand out of bounds, touch the ball carrier and declare the ball carrier down
Neither does my team...obviously.
