NFHS rules (don't know NCAA):
4th and 6 at B's 18. Team A attempts FG. Team B partially blocks kick at LOS. Team A recovers at B's 8. Kick was untouched by B (other than partial block). Who has possession and where is the ball spotted?

Thanks for getting your question in! Without reading the other posts, here is my take
NF - A FG attempt is the same as any scrimmage kick. The touching by B in the ENZ is ignored and since the ball was recovered by A beyond the NZ, it will be B's ball 1-10 from the 8 yard line. If the ball got to the EZ, we would have a TB. If B muffs it beyond the NZ it will be a 1st down for whoever recovers (A or B). Team A cannot advance a muff. Remember to bean bag 1st touching by A and ignore a forced touching by B.
NCAA - The touching by B in the ENZ is again ignored. An unsuccessful FG attempt inside the 20 yard line is returned to the 20, and can be put into play anywhere between the hash marks. If it is missed outside the 20, it comes back to the PS for B's 1-10. If B muffs it beyond the NZ it will be a 1st down for whoever recovers (A or B). Team A cannot advance a muff. Remember to bean bag 1st touching by A and ignore a forced touching by B.
