Morris had 99 yards. Rushes 3 yards, fumbles, ball returned 8 yards. Doesn't he get credited for the 3 yards?

it's the right ruling. ####.
B. If a teammate or opponent recovers the fumble beyond the line of scrimmage:
(a) If the fumble occurred behind, or on, the line of scrimmage, credit the player with
yardage to the line of scrimmage.
(b) If the fumble occurred beyond the line of scrimmage, credit the player who fumbled with
yardage to the point of his advance or the point of recovery, whichever is less.
Example I: With ball on opponent’s 30, running back rushes to 20, where he is tackled and
fumbles. He recovers on the 25 and advances to the 21. Scoring: Running back is credited with one
rush for 9 yards, is charged with a fumble, and credited with a fumble recovery.

If you fumble backwards, then those yards are deducted from your rushing total.
