d) same as (b)

Thanks for your response. I've got a couple follow-ups

In (b) , would it change the outcome if the fumble was grounded before being muffed out of bounds by A1?


In (c), if the fumble became grounded by bouncing once prior to A1's muff, would it matter if the grounding occurred in the end zone versus occurring in the field of play? Or is where the ball touches the ground irrelevant with respect to grounding?

Outcome wouldn't change in either.
