Ohio Playoff - End of Game Situation (Article/Video)

Uh, no. The first bounce was in-bounds, the ball gained OOB status when the black jersey player touched it with his hands while standing OOB.

1. We don't have a good angle of the line from this camera angle.
2. The official is right on top of the line.
3. The official doesn't blow his whistle until after the black jersey player catches it in his hands.
4. Thus, we should assume the first bounce was in-bounds.

All my timing is taken from the tip to the black jersey player catching the ball OOB.

You're wrong. Watch the video again. The T either mistakenly thought it wasn't his line or he just froze up for whatever reason. The ball landed on the sideline.

AND, that makes the timing fit, too. If the player in the black jersey touched a live ball, white would've gotten the ball, right?

JetMetFan agrees with this (see above).

I agree with Rich--the ball definitely landed OOB.
