At this time the interceptor flicks the ball forward to a teammate (Note: the interceptor has cleanly caught the ball and made the flick forward to his teammate all while in the air w/o landing) where it is caught in bounds and progressed for approx 3 yards. What, if anything, do you have?

Exact play from the Peach Bowl several years back. In NCAA this is considered a bat and is legal as it is a bat of a forward pass. There is no "catch" prior to the bat as the player never came to earth so by definition, he did not catch.
