[Husker] Example from the rule book on incomplete TD Pass

[Scott R Lawson]

I still don't understand (and I'm sorry if this has been mentioned a lot) why a runner can just break the plane of the end zone and even if the ball pops out after that, it is a touchdown, but if a receiver doesn't hold the ball for 45 seconds after a catch and fall out of bounds that it's no good.

I realize what the rule was the other night, but in my opinion the rule needs to be changed. There are a few rules like this that are odd- think tuck rule for instance.

I agree with this rule on one foot inbounds....but Holt had both feet and a knee down inbounds on that play.

Also in the NCAA rule book:
 
"Airborne receiver A85 grasps a forward pass and in the process
of going to the ground, first contacts the ground with his left foot
inbounds as he falls to the ground out of bounds. Immediately
upon A85 hitting the ground out of bounds, the ball comes loose.
RULING: Incomplete pass regardless of whether or not the ball hits
the ground because the receiver is out of bounds."
