In another junior high game today (NFHS), R1 muffs a punt at his 6 and it goes into the end zone where K recovers. Our line judge, a high school kid, signaled Touchdown.

This sounds like a touchdown to me. R's touching makes it a live ball.

After confering with him that it was a muff that travelled into the end zone with no new force, I ruled it a touchBACK. R's ball on the 20. In the book, I checked through Rule 6 and Rule 8 but couldn't find it.

In Canada, and for this situation, this is not a new force.
