One reason/difference (in NFHS) might be NFHS 8-2-1 &1a; "Possession of a live ball in the opponents EZ is
always a touchdown.
1a. "It is a TD when a runner advances from the field of play so that the ball penetrates the vertical plane of the opponent's goal line.".
2-32-13, provides: "A runner is a player who is in possession of a live ball or is simulating possession of a live ball."
