Rules Opponent pushed back when holding ball - What happens?

[BBRookie]

Hi, if i make a block against an opponent who is holding the ball and the block only results in pushing him back does he potentially fumble the ball? it doesn't say in the rulebook what happens. Anyone know the answer?

He keeps hold of the ball unless he is knocked down. The exception is if the person doing the push has the skill strip ball, in which case the ball scatters loose unless the ball holder has sure hands.

That's so bb if x then y unless z with the exception of A1 :eyeroll:

Ah okay thanks for clarifying this. I was kind of hoping it would be a fumble but the rules are the rules

Aren't we all hoping for that?

Ha ha yes indeed. The lack of fumble cost me a touchdown as I was mullered by orcs!
