The ball rolls forward into the field of play and out of bounds at the B 4 yd. line. While the ball was loose during the fumble, (a) A4 committed a personal foul, or (b) B9 blocked below the waist at the 10 yd. line, or (c) B9 blocked below the waist in the end zone. How are the penalties enforced if accepted?

A) the penalty would be administered from the goal line since that is the basic spot, so 1-10 for B from the 15.
In B) and C) - safety.
C is a no-brainer so I'll look at the debate you have going on B. 8-5-2-c says it is a safety when "a player on offense commits any foul which is accepted and the enforcement spot is his EZ. 8-5-3-d says "a forward pass is intercepted in B's EZ and becomes dead there in B's possession. When B fumbled the ball out of the EZ and it went OOB's at the 2, the ball did NOT become dead in the EZ, so we do NOT have a TB.
