Trapped, A22 retreats behind the neutral zone to his own 45 where he is hit and fumbles. A10 picks up the loose ball and runs for a TD.
Does this change the enforcement???

My first thought is no but maybe I'm missing something. A25's run ends where he fumbled (loose ball) and is certainly the basic spot at the time. A22's recovery begins runII. When he fumbled behind the line, it now becomes a "loose ball play" and includes all the runs preceding and in turn nullifies the first spot for enforcement. A10's recovery begins runIII but it is after the loose ball Play and is not a factor for enforcement.
The basic spot is still the previous spot.
