We had an IW tonight. I just wanted to make sure we got the call right.
4th and about 20. K punts and R catches the ball about 30 yards downfield. During the return, R is hit at the 45 and fumbles. While the ball is loose our LJ blows the whistle. K recovers the fumble.
Our ruling? Since R was the team offended, we offered the R captain: a) 1st and 10 at the 45, or b) replay the down. Of course they chose the ball at the 45. Right ruling?
And to throw in a mix. What about the following scenarios. Assume the same play, but a) during the kick, R1 holds K1, b) during the return, R2 holds K2, and c) during the return, before the fumble, K3 grasps and pulls R3's facemask.
