Can the ground cause a fumble?

If he was touched(which he was)he would be unable to make a football move either way right?

 

No the ground can't cause a fumble. But by definition, for someone to fumble , they have to have possession.

 

You can't have possession if you don't control the ball to the ground. You may not agree with the rule but a fumble can't happen without possession. So that doesn't apply.

Because he never made a football move and did not control it all the way to the ground it is not considered a catch, therefore it does not matter that he was touched.  If it had made said football move and then it would have been considered a catch, down by contact, an no fumble because the ground cannot cause a fumble.
