Ok. I missapplied the term force on this one. My comparison above it wrong in that that touching only covers the possibility of K to recover the ball and get a 1-10.
8-5-3b It is a touchback when: Any scrimmage kick or free kick becomes dead on or behind Ks goal line with the ball in possession of K (including when the ball is declared dead with no player in possession) and the new force is R s muff or bat of the kick after it has touched the ground.
