If Leinart fumbled backwards, which it appears he did (?), then A) is he given forward progress? and B) does the clock continue to run since his progress was stopped in-bounds?

This might be different for NFL and NCAA, but my understanding was that in the NFL if a player goes out of bounds in reverse or fumbles backwards out of bounds, then the ball is spotted where progress stopped and the clock continues to run.
