If it was does that make it either a fumble or a backward pass and a live ball?

It is illegal to throw a backward pass to intentionally conserve time.
NCAA 7-2-1.
Five Yards from the spot of the foul and lose of down.
By rule it is actually an illegal pass, not IG, but I would not be surprised if that signal was actually used considering the same result and penalty yardage as IG.
