Sorry for the flurry of posts. I was flipping through my books tonight and got thinking.

Now, NFHS 10-4-6, which says:

1st and 10 from the A5. A8 drops back to pass and throws an interception to B51. During the return, B51 fumbles at the A1 and the ball rolls into the EZ. A62 recovers the fumble where B21 pulls and twists A62's facemask. A62 fumbles and:

a) the ball rolls out at the A3,
b) A8 recovers and is tackled in the EZ,
c) A8 recovers and advances to the A30,
d) A8 recovers and advances to the A5 where he fumbles and B16 recovers.
e) B21 recovers the ball,

Rulings:
a) The basic spot is the 20, so 1st and 10 from the A35?
b) This one makes sense. 1st and 10 from the A35.
c) According to the rule, "regardless of where the ball become dead." So the basic spot is the 20, 1st and 10 from the A35?
d) 1st and 10 from the A35?
e) Not a TD, since B didn't have "clean hands." Enforce like b), 1st and 10 from the A35?

a) Apply from the A-20. A 1D/10 @ A-35.
b) Apply from the A-20. A 1D/10 @ A-35.
c) Apply from the end of the run: A-30. A 1D/10 @ A-45.
d) Apply from the A-20. A 1D/10 @ A-35.
e) No TD. A 1D/10 @ A-35.
