Blanc's catch in/out?

I say in. He was bobbling it on his first 2 steps but when his third step touched he had the ball lodged in his legs with both hands on it. I've seen Calvin Johnson secured a catch holding the ball in the air with one hand and this one was no different. He had the ball lodged and it wasn't moving when he touched his foot on the third step and was going out. Had he done the same movements and fell over the goalie, he would have been ruled a touchdown. If you could rule the whole catch bobble lodged in legs a TD, you can't call it am incomplete pass falling out of bounds

Very difficult to call, but was VERY surprised that after the replay they announced the call on the field was "confirmed" instead of "stands".

This.

Compare it to the Louisville INT in the endzone during the first quarter of their game last night against UCF, which they ruled a catch without even reviewing it. Cody's catch was at least as solid as that.

I thought he got control of the ball right before his right foot came down out of bounds. But, if the throw had been in stride or if Blanc had just caught it, it would have been a TD with no question.

He was bobbling the ball early but gathered it while his foot was still in bounds and carried it to the ground in his possession. It was a catch.

I say it really could have gone either way. If they had ruled it a catch and then reviewed it I would guess they could/would've said not enough evidence to over rule.

He looked in.
He looked in on the Jumbotron replays.
SC fans near me thought it was in.
He was out. PERIOD. The officials cannot make an error.
