I had a play similar to this early this season. My play went like this:
Team A snaps from the A-1. The ball is muffed and is in the end zone. I am the R. A scramble for the ball. As I am moving into a position to see the ball it suddenly comes "spiraling" out backwards from near the ground up to a running back who runs it out of the end zone and is down at about the A-5. We didn't get any complaints about it, but the questions that I had were:
1. Was there a player on the ground who passed the ball? If so, the ball should have been dead. Myself and both wings discussed it and neither of us had a view of the player who caused the ball to come out.
2. Was the ball batted to the running back? If so we should have a flag. My thought was that it was not because I seen the spiral, so that indicated to me that a player had to have controlled it and then passed it.
