This is a catch idc what the rules say ..Toe hits first ..Ban all toe tap sideline catches if that’s the case

Why is this any different than a toe drag or any other body part that first hits in bounds with the rest landing out of bounds?

First off dumb rule. So the toe only counts when dragging versus tapping? However, I might be mistaken, but when Indiana beat PSU on that ridiculous catch in the back of the end zone, the IU receiver only tapped his foot down. Let me guess, it’s different if it’s in the end zone?

Anyway, Mally might have the best hands we have ever seen. Early in the game he **** near gets concussed and still hangs on. Then he makes that catch. He’s a dude.

Side note: I was listening to the Aaron Murray and Pollack podcast and they said he had one drop on the year. When was that? I don’t remember him ever dropping a ball.
 
Agreed the rule should be changed, but it was called consistently as the rule stands today.

To put it simply, if Toney was running/falling forward it would have been a catch because the toe would hit first and drag across the ground thereby declaring a toe tap (heel would obviously land in bounds with foot going forward towards sideline). In that situation, any other part of the body hitting out of bounds after the toes would be irrelevant. However, when falling backwards, there is no toe tap declared (heel obviously lands out of bounds with foot going away from sideline) and now the whole foot has to land in bounds just as in any other situation.

The thing is I'm 99% certain Beck was actually throwing that pass to CJ Daniels who was open right behind Toney for a 10+ yard gain. Obviously he didn't know that at the time, and thought the pass was for him. Insane effort on his part and just shows how he will not be denied when a play has to be made.

Beck missed him twice on two throws that should’ve been to the inside.

I love Beck but sometimes he makes throws that make me scratch my head for a 6 year senior. I can see a freshman making those mistakes but I expect more out of Beck on a lot of those downfield throws.

Clear and definitive rule. Amazing catch/effort but he his toe and heel came down almost simultaneously which is ruled incomplete. Yes his toe hit first but the heel came down instantly after which the rule states would be an incompletion.

that seam route early was wide open and he led him outside. The throw wasn’t off, it was going wide from the jump. Don’t know what he saw that he would lead him there.
 
If this were Ole Miss and they called it a catch, we’d be heated. I understand his toe touched first, but it wasn’t a catch. If he tapped the top and lifted the foot, then it’s a catch. Him landing with his heal on the line isn’t. It was the right call.

I think more people are questioning the rule. If you do a traditional toe tap facing the side line your toe can touch and literally a 10th of a second later it can slide across the line and it’s still a catch. In this situation his toe touches and a split second later his heel comes down and it’s considered no catch.
