For NCAA football D1A

A receiver goes up for a catch in the back of the end zone. He catches it (2 hands and secured) at the apex of his jump in mid-air, but before he comes down he’s pushed out of bounds. Like if there would have been no defender around him to push him, he would have come down in the end zone for a touchdown, but instead his feet touch out of the back of the endzone (out of bounds) is it a touchdown or incomplete?

Incomplete. They changed that rule a while back.

Incomplete.

NFL used to have a push out rule that would’ve made that a penalty and made it a catch, but they got rid of that over a decade ago. Once the ball touches the WR hands you can assault them all you want

What happens if a receiver goes to catch a ball and it hits the pylon? Is that considered part of the field so incomplete or can you catch a ball after it touches or at the same time it touches a pylon?

What if you were to like catch the guy and carry him out of bounds, like dirty dancing style say from the middle of the end zone all the way out of bounds would that still be an incompletion?

Not if you had the time of your life. Then it's a TD.

Incomplete.

NFL used to have a force out rule but it was just another subjective judgement call and the axed it many years ago.

While you’d think putting baby in the corner is a foul, if his two feet didn’t come down then it’s incomplete


Technically based on what we’ve seen called this year, if a WR caught a pass in the middle of the field but only had one foot on the ground and one hopped it all the way to the sideline, it would be incomplete

It's incomplete. If the defender carries him across the endzone and dumps him out of bounds without letting him touch the ground, it's incomplete.

The pylon is out of bounds, the ball would be dead if it contacts the pylon. Also if a receiver were to contact the pylon or goal post pad without being forced prior to catching a pass he will have gone out of bounds and be an ineligible receiver.
