The correct answer for that is "it depends." When I was working on my masters degree, one of my professors told me that you WILL NEVER GO WRONG WITH THAT ANSWER. There may be a situation where an official slips and falls or is out of position to tell one way or the other. Then, I believe that it would be ok for the U to signal TD. On our crew, we try to at least get the U to give us a thumbs up so that we know the ball carrier had possession of the ball when he broke the plane.
