Fumbles tied to rushing yardage?

Post by Paul » Sat Oct 19, 2013 7:32 pm

This may be correct, just wanted to get your thoughts on it though. 1st and 10 at the 27, QB botches the handoff to the RB and in the ensuing melee for the ball, the visiting DE falls on the ball in the endzone. TD. It gives the QB -27 yards rushing on the lost fumble? Is that right (not a sarcastic question, if it is, than so be it, but if not, is there a way to not give the QB -27 yards rushing?)

Thanks in advance! Paul

According to NCAA rules on Fumbles (Section 13, Article 1):

On any play terminated by a fumble, the yards involved to the point of recovery
are credited to the player who fumbled, regardless of which team
recovers the fumble.

So from your description, the point of recovery is the End Zone, and the person charged with the fumble would be the QB, so -27 yards rushing to the QB is correct.

Thanks! One more question concerning the fumble. Looking at the PDF stats from the first half, it has the score correct, but does not list the fumble recovery in the scoring recap. Not that big of a deal, just one of those things.

Thanks again!
