Don’t have an answer on that, but what did the defense recover? Maybe you can make them go with loss of down and put it at the 20 or original line, but not the defense getting it…..or if they get the ball for doing nothing but watching a ball roll out of bounds, their offense starts at the 2 yard lineOk, I am tracking ya
Hypothetically if placed at the 20...what would the down and yardage situation be? The fumble could have occurred on 1st 2nd 3rd, or 4th down...so what exact situation should the offense be placed in after fumbling.
I have a hard time not penalizing the offense with a turnover when they in fact turned the ball over(fumbled)
