Replay
I still think it’s a touchdown as he got one foot and possession as he breaks the goal line.
But if you watch the replay he gets one foot in and the second foot comes down out of bounds. Shouldn’t have any bearing on the call but this argument is not valid.

Control and “football move” aren’t defined as in bounds or out of bounds. He absolutely took two steps with control and crossed the plane.

If a running back dives, hits the pylon and fumbles ob when he hits the ground it’s a fricking TD. The rule is moronic

The second foot is irrelevant because the first foot was down before the goal line which means he had possession and crossed the goal line. No diff than a RB breaking the plane and then losing the football (exactly like Durham did). if his first foot was down in the endzone then maintaining clear possession to the ground is necessary
In this case it was not, he had possession and broke the plane.

But he doesn’t take two steps in bounds lol. That’s my whole point. I’m not sure where yall are even getting this. Watch the video

A RB clearly has possession. The call was incomplete pass, regardless of touchdown.
It should have been a completed pass as he wasn’t falling when he caught it. He made a football move, and if he didn’t then our TE surely didn’t on his fumble. So either both were incomplete or neither were.
If brown were to have gone up for the ball and lost it when he hit the ground it should have been incomplete. But he caught it in stride and ran with the ball before falling down

How is Brown’s TD not a TD, but Bauer’s is a catch?

This is why nobody can actually define a catch. I've become somewhat immune to all the buffoonery around whether they will call something a catch or not. I'm just glad that this time, it ended up not being needed..
GEAUX TIGERS!

I thought the Bauder fumble should have been an incomplete pass because he didn’t even have the chance to take two steps and a football move.

I thought the same

He had two feet down before crossing the goal line. One foot was down when he caught it, he took a step, then was pushed as he crossed the goal line. It was a catch and a TD.
The refs got it wrong. You got it wrong.

Then it’s not a touchdown and is incomplete. You need one foot in bounds to get possession, sure, but you have to maintain control to the ground even if you break the plane. The goal line isn’t some magical mark that lets you stop the game instantaneously for every circumstance.
In the end, it was disappointing but it was the right cal by the rules.

Refs are stupid and will always be stupid. End of story.

And yet the rules analyst, announcers and everyone commenting on the game, both media and fans, agree it was a TD. Learn the rules before you post here.

I said the same thing about Hilton’s fumble. The catch and fumble was irrelevant to that play as it still would have been a turn over on downs if incomplete.

The NFL rule states you need a 3rd step or a football move or you have to survive the ground.
Did he make a football move by diving in to the end zone around the pylon?
To me, the best argument for the catch is that he actually did survive the ground. The ball moved but he never lost control. That play is ruled a catch 90+% of the time.
ETA: I don’t know what the college rule is. Would love to see if it’s even documented.

The fact that he hit the pylon should have been enough.

Well you're WRONG. The INITIAL call was COMPLETED pass and out at the half yard line.

How many steps do you need before you break the plane, then?
