Football Question # 13. POSTED!

[Lighthouse]

Guys, I'm not feeling well today and not up to dealing with a question and searching the rule book for an explanation. Maybe tomorrow.

No worries. Take it easy and get better.

Feeling better so here we go.

Team A's ball first and 10 at the Team B 40 yardline with 1:27 remaining in the 2nd quarter. A carries to the B31 yardline where he fumbles. The ball goes out of bounds at the B29 yardline. The result of the play will be.

A. First and 10 at the B29. Clock starts on the Referee's signal.
B. First and 10 at the B29. Clock starts on the snap.
C. Second and 1 at the B31. Clock starts on the Referee's signal.
D. Second and 1 at the B31. Clock starts on the snap.

I will go with C.

Glad you are feeling better. Now here's my wrong answer for this week, I will go with A.

[catfaninin]

I originally put A, then went back and changed to C. The whole forward fumble rule always confuses me.
