1st and 10 from A 20. Quarterback gets the snap, takes two step back and is ganged tackled. The umpire comes rushing in saying: "its done, its over, roll off". Meanwhile the ball had became loose and is sitting behind the pile. No whistle were blown. B-87 sees the the ball picks it up and runs it in for a touchdown. A's coach meets with referee and says his boys stopped becuase the umpire said it was over.

What do we have?
Technically the U was correct, since the QB no longer had the ball, B should not be holding him down

If the U is not prepared to blow his whistle, he should remain quiet.
