Not many players or coaches or fans even noticed the fumble. It was quietly recovered by the defense. My partners informed me I was early and we had an IW. We administered it correctly and told the defense's HC. Boy did I feel like a jerk... It didn't affect the outcome of the game and no one made a stink of it so I get to call it a "learning experience" in a non essential situation (24-7 game in the 4th quarter). My crew wasn't happy but they chalked it up to learning too and were very supportive. The hardest part was trying to get past the blunder and officiate the last 10 minutes of the game.

I had to buy last night cause I brought the chains out and we had a first down by more than the length of the football (by about an inch). Tough crew.
