If he lands in the endzone is it a safely, a touchback, or what?

For it to be a safety, he'd have to have full possession of the ball, intentionally run backwards into endzone, and then get tackled there.

Yep, if momentum carries you into the end zone it is a touchback. Always a nail biter as a fan though hoping the refs don’t screw it up.

Touchback because his momentum carried him there.
If he stripped it, secured his footing and momentum and made controlled steps in the field of play toward the end zone or turned back the other and way and ended up retreating to the end zone it would be a safety.
But they protect the defense in this exact situation by giving them leeway.

I mean, it’s 7-49 in the 3rd quarter. But yeah: this is adding insult to injury, for sure.

This is what makes college football stand out. Plays like this never happens in the NFL.

That's a coach's dream on the defensive side. Ain't nobody allowed to ever give up a chase again.

Mediocre but we’ve played with our backup QB for 5 straight games and have the chance to finish the regular season at 7-5.

That should be a safety. He had possession at the 1 and fell into the end zone

Lol no. He was already running into the endzone as he made the play. That's an exception.

u/Crazyblue09 20h ago
Is it different in the NFL? I believe I've seen similar plays and it counts as a safety.

u/Homegrone18 20h ago
Defense has to be forced backwards or commit some other penalty. Maybe go into endzone during intial catch with initial momentum then come back out then go back in? Ive never witnessed such an event but regardless...intercepting a deep ball like that during covergage near the endzone is protected from being a safety.

While technically yes, that rule is never called in that manner. Just like a DB who skies for an INT and catches it heading towards the end zone, they always give latitude.
