Muffed Punt

[tankmjg24]

The punt returner did have both feet on the ground when he made contact, but he never had secure possession of the ball. On the bounce, the football had cleared the neutral zone as well. From my limited football knowledge, I thought the ruling was correct, but I know that football rules can be complex at times, so I was uncertain what the exact rule was. Seems as if the coach was arguing the rule incorrectly (who would have thought that ) In regards to why the official signaled touchdown, almost immediately he ran back to the line judge and then the others joined. Looked like he could have got caught up in the play and then had that "ah hah" moment.

Cleared it in which direction?

The LJ signaled Td because like all officials, he's not perfect and made a mistake

Actually Tony, he said the LJ held his spot, the HL advanced with the run and signaled. I note he doesn't mention the LJ blowing his whistle or not.

It's easy to get caught up in the moment on these deals.
Crew got together and straightened it out .
