K punts. The punt hits the ground and R plays it on a hop. R muffs the ball (new force on a grounded kick). Ball is rolling towards R's goal line. K then muffs the ball at the 2 and it rolls into the endzone where it is recovered by K.

This play is a touchDOWN under NCAA rules, and force or impetus has nothing to do with it. K is possessing a live ball behind their opponent's goal line -- TD. The only way this could possibly be a touchBACK is if R possessed or recovered the ball or the ball went out of bounds behind the goal line.
I had this play last year.
So is this different from Fed?
