ok guys question number 3
On 4th and 12 from the B 30 yd. line, A5�s pass is intercepted by B9 at the B 18. During the runback (a) B9 is hit and fumbles, and A1 recovers at the B 24, or (b) B9 hands the ball forward to B8 who is at the B 22 yd. line, and B8 is downed at the B 28 yd. line, or (c) B9 hands the ball forward to B8 who is at the B 22 yd. line but B8 botches the exchange and then falls on the loose ball at the B 28 yd. line. Whose ball, are there any fouls, and what is the down?
a) A's ball first and ten at the B24
b) illegal handing 7.3.2 - first and ten for B at the
B 17 if the penalty is accepted, if declined the B's ball first and ten at the 28.
c) botches (pass?).... I assume not... still illegal handing...
reference 2.19.1 ... it is a fumble ... same results as b)
2.19.1 .... Handing the ball is transferring player possession from one player to a teammate in such a way that the ball is still in contact with the first player when it is touched by the teammate. Handing the ball is not a pass. Loss of player possession by unsuccessful execution of attempted handing is a fumble.
same here ....
