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?

We have A's ball at the spot the ball was sitting. 4-2-2-e-2 the ball becomes dead when any loose ball is on the ground motionless and no player attempts to secure possession.....that is what I would use allthough I would prefer to have somone on the crew either see the fumble or rule forward progess had stopped...
