Here’s a play that actually occurred in a college game some years ago—1991 I think. Interested in hearing how you might handle it—and what you might do to ensure that nothing like it happens again.

Near the end of the game, UCLA is at USC’s 1-yard line going in for the winning score. On the snap, the QB muffs it. It rolls down his leg where he inadvertently kicks it into USC’s endzone. A mass of humanity ensues on the loose ball. Officials attempt to get to the bottom of the pile to determine who has it. After all but the last two players are pulled off, the umpire reports that there’s no ball at the bottom of the pile?!?! Looking around, R spots a USC UCLA (sorry my error) player, Brian Allen, holding the ball aloft in the back of the end zone dying to celebrate.

What do you do???
