I would defer to the BJ and tell him that the player was diving when he touched on the X yard line. It's his call if it's a TD. I am not sure how the wing could tell where the ball was if he is properly trailing the play.

So ... you've never seen a 51 yard run? This is EXACTLY what he's talking about. Back judge doesn't know when he was out of bounds, and the trailing and chasing HL can't see if the ball was over. That's kind of the point.
