K punts from their 20. The punt hits the ground and the ball hits K37's leg at the 50 (illegal touching violation). The ball then rolls forward and R17 picks up the ball and advances it. During his run, he fumbles and K recovers.


R can get the ball back at the spot of illegal touching in this situation even though they lost the ball, correct?

NCAA ruling please but also note if there is a difference in NFHS.
