Here is the deal.

In NF, both are a TD as it is a TD if a loose ball is caught while the ball is over or behind the opponents goal line. In NCAA, if a runner advances from the field of play and penatrates the goal line, TD, but if the ball is caught in the EZ-he is contacted and comes down in the field of play-it depends if the ball becomes dead at that spot, or not. If it is an airborn RECEIVER, he must be downed by the initial contact that drove him back even though the ball was over the goal line. If he was airborn and over the goal line, but stayed on his feet after the initial contact, it is NOT a TD. So braking the plane is different if it is a runner from an airborn receiver in NCAA, but not in NF.

This is a big difference when you are looking at the $$$ line and 6 points!
