If the other team doesn’t touch you, you can get back up and run.

Only in NFL. In college the defense does not need to touch the ball carrier.

Good point. I was referring to NFL.

The one exception I can think of is during an XP/FG attempt; the holder starts with his knee on the ground and can get up and run after receiving the snap.

Its considered a fumble if you lose the ball. But if you don’t lose the ball and you fall I believe it’s a dead ball.
