On the TD at the end of the half I have a question. First off I want to go over what I know about the out of bounds rule. If an offensive player steps out of bounds, the play is dead and the ball is spotted at that mark. If there is a fumble and a player touches the ball and touches out of bounds, again play over and ball spotted there. So in the SB, the Steelers intercepted and ran all the way down the field. On about the 5 yrd line, L Fitzgerald (?sp) was pushed out of bounds on a block. While re-entering the playing field (still with on foot out of bounds) he touches Harrison's shoulder and eventually tackles him in the end zone resulting in a TD. Shoulden't the play have been dead as soon as the out of bounds player touched the runner? Please explain how I am wrong on the rule here. Thanks
