"Second and 5 at the 50. Roughing the passer is called on B1. During the play, A2's pass was complete to A3 who advanced to B's 10 where A3 fumbled the ball which then rolled out of bounds through B's end zone. Ruling: If accepted, team A would play first and goal at B’s 5. "

This is true if the fumble through the EZ doesn't constitue a change of possession (i.e. touchback)? 10-5-5

If the fumble constitute's change of possession, then enforce from previous spot and A would play 1/10 from B's 35?

Thanks for your comments:

Here is my take for NF. The fumble itself is not a COP, unless B possesses the ball. Now, it is true that if B had not fouled, B would get a new series as the result of the TB, but they never did get possession and did foul, so we didn't have a COP, so 10-5-5 does not apply.
