Situation: R muffs a punt @ his own 7 yd line. The kick rolls into the End Zone where K "recovers". To all in attendance as well as the coaching staff, this appears to be a touchdown for K. HOWEVER, we know it's a touchback and the ball will belong to R on the 20.
I find this to be an unfair rule in need of review.
Your thoughts?

No need for a change. You should have to carry the ball over the goal line in your possession to get a TD, or have your opponent have the ball in their possession and lose it in the EZ. You can't advance a muff in the field of play, so why award a score because the muff goes into the EZ?
