Football Rule Change Makes Fumbles Dead Upon Ground
The 1929 rule change declares a fumbled ball dead at the point of recovery when it first touches the ground. It preserves the offense’s possession if they recover, but prevents advancing a fumbled ball once it has touched the ground, altering plays like the famous Riegels miscue and other fumble scenarios.
