Is it a touchdown? Continued

[gtwbam]

mtridge: I agree that the latter half is not a touchdown, as long you're saying it was the players momentum that carried him into the field of play, then subsequently downed, before reaching the goal line.

In addition this play is almost identical to a case play in the 2011 high school federation case book supporting the ruling. It's listed at the top of page 14, situation 2.15.1 which reads as follows:

It is first and 10 for A at B's 12 Yard Line. A1 sprints near the end line and then buttonhooks. He jumps and possesses a forward pass while in the air above the end zone. (a) A1's momentum carries him back into the field of play and he lands and is down on the 1-yard line:

Ruling: It is A's ball first and goal at B's 1 yard line.
