If, under the 4th down fumble rule, the ball cannot be advanced and comes back to the spot of the fumble, the result would be a safety. [/B]

Blocking of a kick does not change impetus. Check out NCAA rule 8-7-2. Impetus is charged to the player who kicks, passes, snaps, or fumbles, or contacts a ball at rest.
