If his head goes out at the 1 yd. line but he's hooking the ball inbounds past the Goal Line plane, he's out at the 1, correct? No TD. If I'm making you all dumber, please disregard and I'll move on.

### When a runner is diving towards the sideline and is now airborne, he is not OOB until he touches something that is OOB, however the ball is spotted at the point where it crosses the sideline.
It doesn't matter where his head is, it matters only where the ball is.
In your sample play, the ball has not crossed the sideline (even though your airborne player has) so it should not be placed at the one yardline. Your play results in a TD.
