(Include possession, down, distance, yard line, time, period, score, foul (as applicable), play clock duration, game clock status).

2/5, B-45, 5:00 (3), A=14, B=17.
A11 advances to the B-31, where he is forcibly contacted by B80 with the crown of his helmet (B80 lowered and lead with his head) causing A11 to fumble at the B-30. B99 recovers at the B-30, while lying on the ground.
Ruling:

Ruling:

The natural result of the play is B recovering the loose ball at the B-30. However, since B fouled during the run, even though B recovered, they cannot keep the ball. B's foul is 9-1-3 Targeting, and B80 is disqualified. The foul will be enforced 15 yards from the end of the related run (the 31). It will be A 1/10 at the B-16, PC 25, GC ready.

Very close. Check your answer and see if you see anything wrong. I will say that I was mostly interested in the game clock starting on the referee’s signal, which you got. But there is some else.

End of run is 30, not 31, going to the 15.
