2= No TD - see the other post above By Mikesears. Remember the Pylon is out of bounds.

3- No TD - Rule 2-25-3, Case 2.25.3(b) - Player ended up OB, so breaking of goal line extended does not constitute TD. Ball is placed at foremost position of ball when it crossed the side line...... Need more info for specific spot as to where ball went OB, not player. Unless he was an acrobat, probably somewhere between goal line and 1yd line.... but can't be specific without that info.
First, back to the OP...hurdling is not merely "leaping" or "jumping over an opponent." See Rule 2-20 in the NF rulebook.

Also, maybe I'm having a brain fart on this, but isn't it a TD in #2? I'm not really in the mood right now to go "digging" for this, but I believe it does not matter which side of the pylon the ball hits.
