A recovers a muffed missed FG.

A's ball, 4th and goal from B's 25. The attempted FG is partially blocked and is rolling at B's 5. B1 muffs the ball and A1 recovers at B's 5.

Do we go 1st and goal for A from B's 5?

I know the touching at the line (partial block) is ignored. But what about the muff at B's 5. Can A recover after the muff and get a new series in the same OT period?

No - they still didn't make the line to gain... but see above.

Yes, it's first and goal from the 5. See Page 84, 5-2-1b, 5-3-1. Also, if the distance to the goal line is greater than 10 yards it is still 1st and goal. See Page 86, 3.1.1 Sit Q.

I'm thinking NFHS. I don't pretend to know the NCAA ruling.

Does that matter? Let's talk a punt. A's ball, 4th and 30 from A's 20. Punt is partially blocked and is rolling at A's 40. B1 muffs the punt and A1 falls on the ball on A's 40. Ruling?

1st and 10 for A from A's 40, regardless of reaching the line to gain.

Aren't missed FG treated like any other scrimmage kick? Cross the GL and touchback, short of the GL, just like any other scrimmage kick.
