[NU Sports] Rose Bowl - was that a catch?

[Jim Leonard]

There was a play late in the game (4th quarter) where a Texas player "caught",
then was hit and dropped, a pass. This play was reviewed and rules a non-catch,
rather than a catch then fumble. 

In slow motion it looked like a catch that was fumbled, but in real time it was
almost instantaneous. I've always understood the idea of 'have possesion and
take two steps' as one definition of a catch. In this case though, the
receiver's feet were stationary. 

So my question is, how is a catch verified if the receiver doesn't move his
feet? 

Thanks,
Jim
