But statistically counted as a fumble recovery.
Maybe.
Show me an example where it has been statically counted as a fumble.
I fail though to see how stats are recorded have anything to do with the rules on the field.

Just posted this in another thread but since all you Florida fans want to keep whining about it.
The reason is because of Rule 4-1-3(b, exception). This rule creates the exception to the ball being declared dead when a player's knee is down touching the ground. The exception applies only to the HOLDER when an offensive player kicks or simulates kicking the ball for a place kick (Field Goal). By rule the ball may be advanced, kicked or passed.
In college football the hold may place his knee on the ground and the ball is not declared dead.
