Hoping to get an answer about what is and is not a fumble.
Our running back was tackled, and when he hit the ground the ball popped out on Friday. We thought that the ball should be dead once he hit the ground. When our head coach questioned the head official we were given this response.
"Coach, when he hit the ground the ball came out."
The defense was awarded possession of the ball. I am not an expert on the rules, so I am hoping to learn from you guys.
