It’s not a penalty to make a play on the ball when out of bounds.

It’s only a “penalty” to touch the ball after going out and coming back. And even that is only a penalty because it’s the easiest way to rule it incomplete.

NBC is about to "address" the WMU ending / clock issue per Chris V. of the Athletic. Like now. Halftime of Apple Cup. * - By Potter September 6, 2026 at 05:45:50 PM

  - They did, with a short recap and a statement (read by the host, not written text) that the clock shown on TV on NBC is not the official clock that refs use. * - By Potter September 6, 2026 at 06:46:11 PM
- Still wondering if WMU player committed penalty by making a play on the pass while he was OB?* - By caddis September 6, 2026 at 05:51:13 PM
  - As far as I can tell, the penalty is only applicable to offensive players. * - By Mark II September 6, 2026 at 06:21:17 PM

      - So if you go out and come back it’s a pen, but if you go OB and make a play from OB that’s OK? ChatGPT gives me different answers if I ask “is this legal?” vs “is this illegal?”* - By caddis September 6, 2026 at 06:37:50 PM
        
        If making a play on the ball while oob was a penalty, every pass that’s incomplete because a guy stepped out would be a penalty - By ny1995 September 6, 2026 at 07:13:07 PM
        
        The penalty is loss of down, which only makes sense if it only applies to offensive players. * - By Mark II September 6, 2026 at 06:41:52 PM
