I think this rule should be changed to allow B to return a fumble or an interception.

As a whitehat, I resent that.

Tell the HL or the LJ to take the sprint.

Not all states use the NF model for overtime. So this question could easily vary based on what system you use. In some cases states use a similar system to the NCAA. It might be possible the defense can run back an interception where you live.

So NCAA the ball is not dead and the TD will end game?

That would be correct for NCAA.

REPLY: Walt...our OT procedure is virtually identical to the NCAA procedure.

NJ uses a 25-yard line OT procedure and the defense can score.

I was thinking the same thing. Me having to sprint 85 yards (or so) would not be a good thing and I would never get to the goal line first unless a lineman picked off the pass.
