A has the ball at B's 10. On a running play A fumbles. The fumble is nearly at rest at B-2. B1 tries to recover it and muffs it sideways. B2 tries to recover it and muffs it into the endzone. B3 recovers it on the ground in the endzone. I was working U at the time and see the entire play right in front of me. I call a safety. The state even confirmed it was the right call but don't try to convince B's coach of that.
Great call and you have to make that one, no matter what anyone thinks! If not, you are really impacting the game!
See how good you look when everyone who doesn't know that rule finds out you got it right.
