In NCAA there are no restrictions on 1st,2nd or 3rd down. But on 4th down the only offensive player who can advance a fumble is the fumbler. If a teammate catches or recovers a 4th down fumble the ball is dead immediately whether it is behind or beyond the spot of the fumble. Also, If a fumble goes OOB on any down before it is recovered, it is returned to the spot of the fumble unless the OOB spot is behind the spot of the fumble.
