Someone please explain to me why this isn't a loose ball foul as defined in 10-3-1 and the note highlighted in gray below. I believe it meets the criteria completely. So, in A,wouldn't the basic spot be the previous spot, and the foul by B marked off from there.
Also, how can a safety be involved when the recoverd ball was in the EZ of the offended team, not the team that created the new force?
The initial force is the fumble by A, and the new force is the kick by B.
I understand 8-5-b to read that the new force recovered in endzone of the player who created the new force(B) would result in a safety for that player's team. In this scenario, the ball was recoverd in A's endzone, therefore, there is no safety involved.
