Touchdown Rule: a question

whew! Okay that make sense now...I was reading and saying what?? LOL.

I had the same type of play with an INT being run back to the goal line. I was the Referee. I broke for the goal line ASAP but kind of blocked out by other players as I tried to get to the goal line. The player laid out at about the three yard line. I came straight down the goal line toward the pylon. The ball id hit the inside of the pylon. I looked at the HL who was trailing the play before I made a call and we acutaly came together at the goal line and he maked him out of bounds at the one. From my angle it looked like a TD. But I went with the HL. After getting a copy of the game films and watching it in super slow motion, the players knee was down before the ball broke the goal line. So, it seems we got the call right either way!
