i think a pass remains a pass even if it is batted sometimes you hear a pass being incomplete when it's batted down but further down on this page i recalled that a pass was batted up in the air in the end zone and the quarterback was able to get to the ball and bat it out of the end zone and i recall that roger staubach still playing for navy had a pass batted up in the air he caught it threw it again and drew a penalty call for throwing that nd pass
