So I finally got around to watch the Oklahoma game again, as I was there in person.
I've got a question about the second Oklahoma touchdown. (it occurs at the 2 minute mark in the 1st qr. There are many clips of it on youtube, but I won't link them here as some mods don't like that)
Was that play ruled a touchdown correctly? It is clear that he catch the ball and broke the plane, but in the NFL, they would say that this should be ruled an incomplete pass as the receiver lost the ball when when the player went to the ground. What this really comes down to is: does college have the same rule as the NFL when it comes to maintaining possession through the catch? Is this not the rule in college?
I'm not trying to say this cost us the game and we should have won, I'm just always interested in the very technical differences between the college and pro game.
