Example -- interception caught by Team B at the Team B's 10 yard line, and the runner decides for whatever reason to run back toward his end zone. He's either tackled in the EZ or fumbles the ball back behind the line and out of bounds. Remember, though, that inside the 5 (I think in both codes) the exception is for momentum.

This would be extremely rare, but it has happened.

Except, in NFHS OT rules, the ball is dead once Team B has possession.

A better example would be a fumble on the 1, and B34 bats the ball across his goal line where B41 falls on it.
