Bag or No Bag

[DJ_NV]

Also in NF, by rule you never bag a fumble behind the LOS. There is no reason for it. I know that some guys feel that a bag *signals* a fumble, but I personally don't agree. Just remember that if you or someone on your crew does bag a fumble behind the LOS, you will never use the spot or yard line that you bagged.

NCAA is different, but only for fumbles that are forward OOB or 4th down and try plays. Otherwise, for penalty enforcement and IW issues, it's the same as Fed (though different 'rulebook' wording)
