If it went forward...touchback. Plain and simple. Either way...its Notre Dame ball/win.

Well, I've only seen the replay once so it's hard for me to say.
Say you have the ball and you're running towards the endzone. Then a dude comes in and knocks the ball out. It rolls into the endzone and then out of bounds, that is a touchback. If the ball were to just roll out of bounds the offense keeps the ball from the spot it rolled out.

The ball went almost directly horizontal as it flew out of bounds from the replays I could see.
Some analysts have called yesterday's game the greatest NCAA football game ever played.

Oh, its definetly the greatest. No doubt.

I'm not so sure about that... there's a lot of games that we haven't been able to see that might have been better. Oklahoma/Nebraska from 71(?), Miami/Nebraska from 84 are all considered to be pretty good. I think we're just losing perspective after an incredibly fantastic game...
Besides, I'm more partial to Minnesota/Penn St. from 1999 myself (oh, I'm such a homer).
