The play I saw, was the receiving team called for a fair catch, the punt hit one of the kicking teams players in the back. The punt receiver was not close enough to catch the punt, however after it hit the player in the back, he picked it up and ran with it.

I wasnt sure if hitting the kicking teams player downed the ball or not.

They spotted the ball approximately where the fair catch was called. I assume that since the fair catch was called, you cant advance?? This was an college game by the way.
