Default Re: 2 quick questions...

question #1: we had a bet on whether michigan would score on a possession. it went to 4th down, they punted, but the illinois guy muffed the punt, michigan recovered, and scored the next play.

If the fumbled punt counted as a turnover, then the ensuing drive would be considered a separate possession. The team receiving the punt had possession (for some very short amount of time) and then the punting team regained possession. Would be the same as the case where somebody intercepted the ball, then fumbled it and the offense recovered it back.
