The basic spot is not the EZ on this play. The offense put the ball into the EZ. (Ignore the foul for a second) Therefore if the run ends in the EZ (without B taking the ball out of the EZ) the basic spot is the 20 since the result of the play is a touchback.
Now you factor in the foul. Since the foul occurs behind the basic spot you enforce from the spot of the foul. In this case the EZ, thereby the safety.
In your case the basic spot would still be the 20, but the enforcement spot would be the 2. Ball 1st & 10 on the 1.
