Youth Football Game

The offensive team throws a backwards pass and the receiver completely misses it. The ball is lying on the ground. Can the defensive team pick up the ball and advance it?

Would the answer be the same if the receiver had touched the ball but not caught it?

Yes and yes... the ball is live and the spot of release of original pass should be bagged. We could have a potential last touched situation.
