Temple Receiver Contacting Post Rules On Touchdown Call
A Temple receiver jumps to receive a forward pass in the end zone and touches the goal post. He regains possession as he returns to the ground in the end zone. The ruling should be an incomplete pass with loss of down. The rule states inbounds touching by an out of bounds player on a legal forward pass ends play, and touching out of bounds does not count until touched by an opponent.
