Let's say B intercepts a pass at the 1 and his momentum takes him into the EZ, where almost immediately, the ball is stripped from his grasp and he fumbles (he had gotten possession). While the ball is loose, B2 holds A2 at B's 3. The ball rolls back out to B's 5 and B5 recovers it there.
If the ME is not in effect, the related run ended in the end zone, making that the basic spot for enforcement of the hold while the ball was loose, making it a safety. I don't believe any of us would ever rule safety as a)the ball wasn't recovered in the end zone and b) the foul didn't occur in the end zone.
If that's the case, then our basic spot would be the momentum spot - B's 1 - and we would go 1/2 the distance and give B the ball there 1st and 10 going out.
