Nor have I, & I've got a few years on you.

Since it's hard to tell when possession was lost by the player who had his hands on the ball first, I would in doubtful cases rule that possession changed at a time which would not make it handing the ball forward.

REPLY: I've had one (in 34 years), just three seasons ago. I was the R in a varsity contest where on the opening kickoff, the receiving team ran a reverse. But the 'receiver' passed in front of the ball carrier and forced him to hand it forward.
