When an offensive player's shin hits the ground while carrying the ball is he considered down?
If a ball carrier falls down on top of an opposing player and does not otherwise touch the ground, he is not considered down by contact and may continue to advance the ball.
Some part of the ball carrier's body, other than his hands or feet, has to make contact with the ground for him to be considered down(Technically, a knee or elbow or helmet has to make contact with the turf for the carrier to be down).
This is true for all levels of football play: HS, NCAA, NFL.
