[QUOTE="GT33, post: 918111, member: 5550"] The only problem is that is not the rule. The rule states the player must catch the ball, touch the ground, then maintain control long enough to perform an act common to the game. For example he could run, try to avoid a tackle, dive forward for a 1st down, etc. Nowhere does it say 2 feet down unless the rule book changed this year and I got an old copy. The mutt caught the ball, touched the ground with both feet even though it's not required and made a move to avoid a tackle. It was a fumble by the rules. The TD catch was not a catch per the rules. The receiver must catch the ball and gain firm control before it touches the ground, not simultaneously with touching the ground, it has to be caught in flight first then it can touch the ground. The TD catch was not caught before it touched the ground. This ref crew need not ref another game this year. Doubtful they do because this was likely at best the #5 SEC ref crew doing this game & could be the #7 if the Egg Bowl and/or Mizzou-Ark crews were ineligible to ref games this weekend. Basically we got the guys that normally cover the 1-aa games and it showed. [/QUOTE]
