It may not make a difference in Fed but it does in NCAA. Our definitions include a section on the snap that says when the snap is muffed, it becomes a backward pass, not a fumble.
That is an important distinction because of things that are permitted on 4th downs and trys if the ball is a backwards pass as opposed to a fumble.
We don't bag a "bad snap" but would bag a failed handing behind the NZ.
