Very similar, with just a little more foul language.
I'm surprised the refs let them talk to them like that.

. . . because catching the ball is NOT the final step in completing a pass. Once the pass is completed in the endzone it is a TD and the ball is dead.Why, on a running play, is it a dead ball TD the moment it crosses the line but not on a passing play? Shouldn't it be a dead ball TD the moment the ball is caught?

. . . and everyone needs to think of the alternative before saying it's a stupid rule. Can you imagine how many current incomplete passes would instead be fumbles? Passing would become almost a liability on the risk scale. Not that it would be terrible, but it would be a big change and a setback for offenses.
I feel like that play should be on the Referee Final Test before getting credentialed!
Another season or two and the entire Referee Final Exam will consist of various ISU oddities. :/
Anyone see the Bears INT that was overturned to a Lions "TD"?
Iowa State is playing Texas and is attempting a goal line stand. Iowa State appears to grab a fumble and run unopposed for a touchdown.
How do you rule.
A) TD Iowa State
B) Blow the play dead, but give ISU the ball at the 1 yard line
C) Blow the play dead and claim forward progress. It is Texas after all.
D)Blow the play dead and claim forward progress. It is Texas after all. Issue an apology letter on Monday (those are as good as a win)
