He did initially bobble it or else it would have been a catch because his first foot was in bounds. He bobbled it then the next foot was out of bounds.
He didn't bobble it. His left hand came off for a split second. If you are going to require two hands on a ball then you are going to have to take away a lot of spectacular catches.

The ball didn't move in his right hand.

you have to control the ball to the ground and he didnt. That doesn't happen on every catch.


If he weren't out of bounds it would have been a catch. But he never established himself back in bounds before he regained full possession of the ball
correct. It was pretty clear too.

If this had been an A&M receiver, this board would be screaming that it was incomplete. Those P&G glasses.....

Both hands came off. The field level camera from the opposite end zone gives the illusion that it never left his right hand but it’s just the angle. You can clearly see that hand also came off from the sideline/field level goal line view.

The fact that so many people debate whether it was a catch or not illustrates the problem that exists in the current understanding of the standard to overturn a call in the SEC. I have heard the phrase "clear and convincing" as the standard that is supposed to be applied, but if so many people are unconvinced, the SEC needs to redefine the standard or teach it better.
