Pylon Rule
Sep 30, 2012, 11:37 AM

I just don't understand the explanation of this rule as given by the announcers yesterday. If your foot hits the pylon, you are out of bounds and become an illegible receiver? The pylon is placed inside the field of play, hence diving towards and hitting the pylon with the football is a touchdown. So how does running into something in bounds result in an out of bounds route?
The refs never said Nuk ran out of bounds. They called the pass incomplete and after review said the ruling on the field stood. There was no mention of running out of bounds - I think this is something the announcers created. So, yes, we once again see that ACC refs are the worst in the land. Can't even get an obvious missed call right on a review. Pathetic.

Its not hard to understand

The pylon is not in bounds. If you touch the pylon you are out of bounds.
The pylon is on the goal line so if you can touch the pylon with the ball, you had to cross the plane of the endzone which is a touchdown.
Now it is a stupid rule that touching the pylon makes you out of bounds, but that is the rule. Its not hard to understand it is just a dumb rule.

see the pylon out of bounds, but behind the plane of the goal line?

the pylon is an extension of the out of bounds line that sticks up.
so i understand the Nuk call. But then why you can be diving out of bounds with the ball and then swing it over and touch the outside of the pylon with the ball and it's a TD is beyond me, since the ball obviously went out of bounds before crossing the plane of the goal line. Or does it have to touch the inside of the pylon for that to be a TD. All the pictures I see via google show players holding the ball to the inside of the pylon as they fly over.

Not sure I understand the logic either, but that's the rule

a. A ball carrier advancing from the field of play has possession of a live ball
when it penetrates the plane of the opponent’s goal line. This plane extends
beyond the pylons only for a player who touches the ground in the end zone
or a pylon. (A.R. 2-23-1-I and A.R. 8-2-1-I-IX).

The plane of out-of-bounds does not extend upwards lik line?

plane of the goal line. The goal line has an x and y plane. The out of bounds has only one plane.
If you contact the pylon above the goal line plane, then it's a TD. If you touch the pylon before before getting a foot down in the endzone, then it's out of bounds.
The call was correct.

It's been beat to death, and Nuk was out of bounds. A player

who touches the pylon is out of bounds. It was the correct call.

What if there's a hurricane-like force wind and a pylon

literally ends up in the middle of the field at like the 35 yard line and a ball carrier touches it. Is he out of bounds?
