In situation K1 misses the ball in an attempt at a scrimmage kick. This action by Ki does not meet any of the definitions of a "fumble" and since the ball clearly is not thrown backward or parallel with or toward the runner's end line (necessary criteria for backward pass) and since it does not matter if a forward pass is thrown over hand or under hand, is this not an incomplete forward pass?
Rule 2-29- Article 1 . . . Passing the ball is throwing a ball that is in player possession. In a a pass, the ball travels in flight. Article 2 . . . A forward pass is a pass thrown with its initial direction toward the opponents end line.
