first touching

very interesting situation. we have a tied ball game with 6 seconds to go in the game. the score is tied 14-14 and team A in kicking off. the kick is squibed and first touched by A within the 10 yards, team B picks up the ball and runs all the way to the 10 yard line and the time expires. the clock started when B picked up the ball. is there any way that B could take the ball at the spot of first touching and have an untimed down or do we go to overtime? since there is no penalty for first touching and the clock expired i would think that regulation is over. although first touching has some elements of a penalty.
