I would have to look up what is the current cost for all of this, but I know it would have been more if they stayed with the NF and one of the main reasons they opted out of the NF program. As a result, we do not get rulebooks and personal memberships from the NF. And that is alright with me. Peace

So this rule only pertains to a running play such as that following an interception, possession of a kick etc. It seems impossible then to have a run play from scrimmage where this rule applies, since the fumble occurs in the end zone which by definition is a loose ball play.
Thank you all for the clarification. It's important to me that I understand this rule clearly. I've actually had this play in a youth game and enforced the horse collar penalty (incorrectly) from the goal line. I will get it right next time. |

The phrase I used earlier really helped me eventually understand this. A down can consist of multiple running plays, but only 1 loose ball play and it always starts with the snap. |

Fair enough. That's what I get for trying to answer without the rule book in front of me.

Rule 10-3 Art 1, c: A loose-ball play is the action during: c . A backward pass (including the snap), illegal kick or fumble made by A from in or behind the neutral zone and prior to change of team possession. note: The runs which precedes such legal or illegal kick, legal forward pass, backward pass or fumble is (are) considered part of the action during a loose ball play. I used an old rule book so not sure if my rule number is correct..... |

I am not a football official, but to me this seems like another example of the wording of the NFHS rulebooks being confusing as heck.
We had a softball debate at a clinic a couple years ago. I don't recall the exact situation, but it involved a batter being hit with a batted ball and what the status of the ball and play was. The rules covering the batter actually contradict themselves, but the deciding factor is the definition of a foul ball. If in doubt, go with the definition in the NFHS book. |

It's not that confusing once you realize that the definitions are important and that they have a specific meaning. Like in any other sport, the rule pertaining to definitions is vitally important to understand in understanding the rest of the book.
