The play is this. B1 intercepts the ball at the three and his momentum carries him into his endzone. B1 then attempts to advance out of the endzone where he is hit and fumbles. The ball rolls out of the back of the endzone. The question is this, is it a safety or are we going to place the ball at the three? I know if he would have fumbled in the field of play, momentun is off and its a safety. But is momentum off after he carries it into the endzone and then fumbles. I have just argued this play at our chapter meeting for the last 90 minutes and I can't find a play in either this year, last year or 2002 casebooks that is exactly on point.
REPLY: Momentum exception is in effect. Place the ball at B's 3. 1/10 for B there.
