If the QB-RB exchange is botched (RB never got the ball clean), is the fumble charged to the QB? Does the QB also get charged with a rushing attempt?

Was going to type a long response but it is better explained here and this is technically NCAA but almost everything applies to NFHS as well. fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/Stats_Manuals/Football/2015ez.pdf See section 13 for fumbles , there are several examples regarding who recovers, advances the fumble etc. This is a good resource for all stats related questions. |

Article 6. When two players apparently contribute equally to a fumble and
there is a resultant gain or loss of yardage, the player who, in the scorer’s judgment,
was in possession of the ball at the time of the fumble is credited with the
gain or charged with the loss.
A.R. 1. Team A’s ball on Team B’s 40. During an attempted handoff from
Adams to Allen, the ball is fumbled and recovered by Team A on the 50.
Charge Adams or Allen (based on the scorer’s judgment) with a rush of minus
10 yards. Charge Team A with a fumble not lost.
