I say that the fumble caused the play to be a loose ball play and that includes the run preceeding the fumble. That means we penalize from the previous spot and it is either 2nd and 5 from A's 45, or 1st and 10 from B's 45 depending on if the facemask is a 5 or 15 yarder.

Correct?
Think about this. If what you say is true, why do we throw a bean bag?
