[Husker] Returning a Lateral

[Tony Lambert]

It's a lateral the same as a pass to a receiver that is at the same position
on the field as the QB?

Has this ever been the case?  If it has, I can't remember it in my 
lifetime.  For as long as I can remember, a dropped lateral has never 
been any different than a fumble.  I wouldn't really see the logic in 
such a rule either.
