Fumble advancement rule

I know in the NFL with less than 2 minutes to go in a half the only player who is allowed to advance a fumble is the player who fumbled the ball. If any other offensive player recovers the ball it is blown dead at that spot.

 

What about high school? Is there a similar rule in this situation? I can't seem to find the official TSSAA rulebook anywhere on line.

 

Thanks

This is a good question. I don't know if many can respond, though.

 

I recently asked a question concerning no runback from the endzone on a kickoff.  I would like to know how & why that rule came to be.

 

Looks as if this is a pure fan Board. Not many technicals discussed. But an enjoyable Board, too!

That rule started in 1973. I don't know why it was adopted.

Check rule 7-4-2 about fumbles and backward passes. A loose ball behind the line of scrim. is anyones to advance. That includes blocked kicks except PATs (kick,run,or pass) which are then ruled incompleted trys.

In overtime, when the ball is recovered by the defence, the play is blown dead, and the ball belongs to the recovering team.

There are no time considerations.

Highschool rules on Friday.

College rules on Saturday.

BS rules on Sunday, and Monday.

Thanks Jimbo, what about my original question. Can a fumble be advance by anyone other than the fumbling player? You also cited a specific rule, is the rulebook online somewhere?

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..

    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
