1.It is 1st and 10. Ball is handed off on an iso play and the ball carrier runs ten yards when the ball comes loose. No one has control and the official blows the whistle. What should happen? What choices does the offense have?
2. The ball is being punted and the snap is such that it goes over the head of the punter. The punter picks up the ball then fumbles it. The whistle is blown while the ball is loose. What should happen? What choices does the punting team have?
Thanks for the help!

The last in possession gets to choose either the result of the play up to the point of the fumble, or replay the down. In your first play, the offense is likely to take the 10 yards (unless it was 4th and 11). In your second, they will likely replay the down.
