the player caught it as he was sailing out the back of the endzone, tossed it back to his teammate inbounds in the endzone before his feet touched down, and was ruled a touchdown...watch the ref take like 5 seconds to figure out what happened.

jt,
I was thinking of that exact same play by Dansby too! Another interesting fact, Lutzenkirchen is, at least for now, an Auburn committment.

I had that same thing happen in a JV game 5 years ago.. except if was our receiver who caught the ball and threw it forward..
My thing is though.. wouldnt possession have to be established before it can be considered an illegal forward pass? For possession to be established.. he would have to come down with the ball just like any other place on the field?
I dont know.. the officials in our game called illegal forward pass.. but I still think they are wrong.. and I think the part about it being illegal forward pass in the Danzby thing was wrong too..
They said he had possession and then threw an illegal forward pass.. at what point did he gain possession?

The defensive back who initially touched/caught it never really had possession. At that point, since he did not regain possession , it wouldn't be an illegal forward pass but merely a batted ball. Whether or not that is illegal....is a different story I guess. |

My question on the Dansby one. Did he have possession? The refs say yes....but I don't think so. I thought a player had to come down with a foot on the ground and make a football move...or something like that. I don't think you can count that as possession until the guy who ended up catching it on the field came down with the ball.
The high school one is flat out awesome.

I was thinking the same thing about possession. How is it possession if it would have been incomplete had he come down with it. He never had his feet inbounds. I thought that #54 should get credit for the INT becasue dansby just tipped the ball. I know he caught it but its not a catch unless his feet are in. so i thought, guess i'm wrong

I think you're right on the Dansby catch/non-catch, but the officials A: hadn't seen anything like it before, and B: got tunnel vision on the illegal forward pass without considering actual possession, but rather assumed it. By the rule, as I understand it, the player can only possess the caught ball if he comes down with one foot in bounds...Dansby never touched the ground with the ball in his hands. |
