A muff would ultimately determine who gets possession of the ball or what happens to the ball if force is involved but force is never a factor for kicks going into B's endzone as these are always touchbacks and it became a touchback as soon as it crossed the plane of the goalline. You might be thinking of NCAA rules and I have no clue how they would handle this situation but in NFHS, this is a TB.
