Arkansas-Florida Muffed Punt

I'm sure all of our SEC fans saw the punt that was muffed by Arkansas and subsequently recovered for a TD by Florida. What got me to thinking about that play was the FoxSports message boards (more of a fan-board as the games are in progress), where a guy actually asked if the play should have been called a touchback.

I know that the play was called correctly according to NCAA as the ball is only ruled an immediate TB if the ball is untouched by R and enters the endzone, however had this been NF how many would have ruled a TB? The one thing that really sparked my interest in the play in question is that in trying to recover the muffed punt, R batted the ball around and somewhat toward the goal line. At this point I asked myself is this a new force outside of the punt that would cause this not to be a TB in NF?

Can anyone imagine a coach accepting the call without a huge fuss? I use the word "imagine" because I think it will take alot of imagination to invision a coach not blowing up.
