SECTION 12 — FUMBLE RETURNS

This category deals with the recovery and returns of opposition fumbles including these situations:
1. Yards gained following recovery of a blocked punt or field goal attempt.
2. Yards gained following interception of a lateral pass.
Fumble returns are measured from the point of recovery to the point the play becomes dead or possession is lost on a subsequent fumble.
Dribbling a loose ball downfield will be considered a fumble return.
