Heres one for yall...in back to back week we had a similiar situation.
Game 1: We kick-off opposing player goes to catch the ball on 2 yard line but drops the ball it falls into the endzone. Teammate of player recovers the ball scrambles around in the endzone before finally being tackled. Its called a touchback.
Game 2: JH kid intercepts the pass takes 2 steps to try and return the int before being tackled in the endzone but never left the endzone. They call safety! I asked why and the answer was he "attempted" to bring it out of the endzone.
In game 1 I thought since he was out of the endzone but fumbled into the endzone it should have been a safety. But also if the ref in Game 2 was correct then he attempted to bring it out which by his definition would mean a safety regardless.
In game 2 I believed it should have been a touchback regardless of how much he ran around in the endzone as long as he never stepped out.
What are the correct calls?
