Treadwell went over 1,000 yards for the season. First time we have had a RB or WR go over 1k in awhile. Really going to miss that cat next year.

Soooooo...

I'm seeing some people on "other boards" say that the NCAA rules say thus:

A lateral or backwards pass that hits the ground is ruled a fumble. In addition to this, a fumble on 4th down is dead at the spot of the fumble if it's not recovered by the fumbler.

If this turns out to be true I'm gonna be sick.

Holy Crap. And I wonder what's the basis for that rule?

I'm just relaying.

I checked the rule book and it's a fact that a fumble on 4th down can't be advanced by anyone other than the fumbler.

Now the question just sits as this - is a backwards pass that hits the ground a fumble?

A backwards pass can be advanced by anyone behind the play. It's treated like a fumble, but it can be advanced. It's a weird rule.

Rule 8 Section 5 Article 1 Approved Ruling 8-5-1 VI indicates as much.

Rule 7, Section 2, Article 2a: When a backward pass or fumble is caught or recovered by any inbounds player, the ball continues in play.

Exceptions: 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.

However, Approved Ruling 2-23-1 clearly indicates that in a scenario with a backwards pass, any player is eligible to recover and advance the ball.

There is no restriction on any player recovering and advancing the ball on a backwards pass.

Good to know.

So maybe our fricking shitty defense should have just tackled Collins before he loped 25 yards for a fricking first down.

Yeah. The team gave up when Hunter was hit. They assumed he was down. It was a great play by Arky. Pretty insane.

Rob was walking around when Huntsr got hit.
