The rule does refer to being blocked out of bounds. However, all of the examples in the rule interpretation refer to a player being forced out. The scUM DB gave Gonzo a shove out with the hips, and that is what the field judge saw when he threw his hat. The same rule bit the Buckeyes in 2002 at Illinois when Brandon Lloyd went out of bounds on a 3rd down play and came back in to catch a pass that extended a drive that ultimately resulted in an Illinois TD.
