It would not have been fun to explain that to a coach whose defense had just recovered a fumble and tell him that the offense gets to replay the down from the original los, ouch. Think I learned my lesson on the IW.
I would say that more times than not, the ball will be loose when there's an IW. I don't know why it happens that way but it usually does.
