FED overtime ules question

JugglingReferee,
That would be a touchdown for B. After all, as we all know "possession of a live ball in an opponent's end zone is always a touchdown", and the ball had to be live in order for B to intercept it.

Naturally.

Which leads me to this:

If B is about to intercept a pass, he should "bobble" it all the way down the field and then finally secure possession in A's end zone.

This would be the equivalent of B giving the finger to the rules.

I gotta say, if a Team B player can bobble a pass all the way down the field without letting it hit the ground or getting pulverized by a Team A player, more power to 'em.

I'll file that under 'things that could POSSIBLY happen, but will never actually happen'

Of course, there's no rule for what to do should that happen. I guess you begin the next series up by 7. Don't throw a pick into your own EZ, or fumble one backward 90 yards, and you win.
