Exactly -- the only thing that matters is "who put the ball in the end zone?" It's Team A's fumble. Touchback.

One of these days I'll learn. Even something gets discussed on the board, it happens in my games. It's been true in basketball, and it's now true in FB.

JV game this morning. White breaks a long run from the B 20, just as he gets close to the goal line, he tries switching hands and kicks the ball through the end zone for a touchback.

Frustrated coach asks the wing, "how do you fumble going into the endzone when no one touches you?"

After waking up my brain that's what I thought. Thanks all.
