RBs should have to keep control of the football all the way down for the score to count.

No, I like the lunging and reaching for the line/Pylon plays. It's entertaining.

that was a td.

I agree.

The way I’d like to see it is if you don’t let the ground assist you in making the catch or maintaining possession and regardless of how much you may bobble the ball before you ultimately possess the ball then it is a catch if all other criteria are satisfied.

Not if he is trying to catch a pass and has possession in mid air in the end zone. He has to survive the ground.

Correct but that is true anywhere on the field. He has to survive going to the ground in order for possession to be established. The key is having established possession.

The moment the ball breaks the plane in the possession of the player, it's a TD and the ball is dead. If he loses possession after that point it is irrelevant.

That’s the part that gets me.

Possession for even a microsecond past the plane should be a TD.

This expectation for follow through in passes can get absurd.

This is dumb

---

The ground can’t cause a fumble

I’ve always thought this phrase was dumb. Of course it can’t, you’re down by rule before you can fumble (rare exception being untouched in the nfl).

Every time an announcer has used this in a college game, the play was over as soon as body parts hit the ground.

It’s a goal line.

It’s not a contingent goal line.
