As part of preventative officiating, there are certain things we say during the course of play to make sure no one gets hurt. The umpire and/or referee will say "ball's gone" or "ball's away" once a pass or kick is in flight.
On a long breakaway, with the runner 15 yards ahead of everyone, the trailing official might be saying "no blocks, no blocks".
My question is this scenario.
4 and 10 from B20. A lines up for a FG. The kick is blocked and it caroms to the right, lands and rolls to a stop on the 3 yd line, near the sideline. B32 is the first one to arrive at the ball, he approaches it tentatively and looks at the LJ who simply says... "live". At the time, the next closest player was 10 yards away. B32 picks it up and runs for a touchdown.
Good or Bad?
