The ball bounced after hitting the ground, and in disgust, the punter batted the ball towards the WSU goal. At no point was the ball downed. At that point a WSU player picked it up, but stopped when the whistle blew.

The news story you posted seems like a misunderstanding of the rules. If the ball is downed, how can you illegally bat it?

Very strange indeed
Seemed like an IW to me as well. Like I said, if I was the WSU coach, I would have and an earful for the official.
