ARTICLE 2. a. When a backward pass or fumble is caught or recovered by
any inbounds player, the ball continues in play (A.R. 7-2-2-I and II, A.R.
2-23-1-I).

Exceptions:

RULE 7-2 / SNAPPING AND PASSING THE BALL FR-101
1. Rule 8-3-2-d-5 (Team A fumble on the try).
2. On fourth down before a change of team possession, when a Team
A fumble is caught or recovered by a Team A player other than the
fumbler, the ball is dead.

If the catch or recovery is beyond the spot
of the fumble, the ball is returned to the spot of the fumble.

If the catch or recovery is behind the spot of the fumble, the ball remains
at the spot of the catch or recovery.
Read the first sentence after exception 2 (bolded)

Payback for the bogus pass interference earlier in the game.

RULE 3
Ball Declared Dead
ARTICLE 3. A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound his whistle
or declare it dead:
a. When it goes out of bounds other than a kick that scores a field goal after
touching the uprights or crossbar, when a ball carrier is out of bounds,
or when a ball carrier is so held that his forward progress is stopped.
When in question, the ball is dead (A.R. 4-2-1-II).
b. When any part of the ball carrier’s body, except his hand or foot, touches
the ground or when the ball carrier is tackled or otherwise falls and loses
possession of the ball as he contacts the ground with any part of his
body, except his hand or foot [Exception: The ball remains alive when
an offensive player has simulated a kick or is in position to kick the ball
held for a place kick by a teammate. The ball may be kicked, passed or
advanced by rule] (A.R. 4-1-3-I).
c. When a touchdown, touchback, safety, field goal or successful try
occurs; or when an unsuccessful field-goal attempt that has crossed the
neutral zone and is then untouched by Team B, lands in Team B’s end
zone or out of bounds (A.R. 6-3-9-I).
d. When, during a try, a dead-ball rule applies (Rule 8-3-2-d-5).
e. When a player of the kicking team catches or recovers any free kick or
a scrimmage kick that has crossed the neutral zone (A.R. 4-1-3-II).
f. When a free kick, scrimmage kick or any other loose ball comes to rest
and no player attempts to secure it.
g. When a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone or a free kick is caught
or recovered by any player after a valid or invalid fair-catch signal; or
when an invalid fair-catch signal is made after a catch or recovery by
Team B (Rules 2-7-1, 2-7-2 and 2-7-3).
h. When a return kick or scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone is
made.
i. When a forward pass strikes the ground.
j. When, before a change of team possession on fourth down or a try, a
Team A fumble is caught or recovered by a Team A player other than the
fumbler
(Rules 7-2-2-a and -b and 8-3-2-d-5).

seems that the exceptions are only for a fumble, not a backwards pass..

did they give the holder credit for a fumble?

A pass interference call on a pass that landed 10 yards out of bounds gave you 4 points.

It wasn't a "pass" or a "fumble"

It was a toss/lateral....as in a toss sweep

It was a running play


Go find some other rule/exception to help you feel like you got robbed

You're the first butthurt UF fan I've seen....everyone else has owned up to losing and congratulated us on a hard fought victory

Was it ruled a fumble on the field? I don't recall them throwing the marker.

What about a QB being tackled in the end zone? That one bothered me

It wasn't a pass. It was a lateral. Therefore, none of this is relevant, and you are stupid.

That would be great if that was a fumble.

But a backwards pass, is a backwards pass...
