Saw This On Scrimmage Kick

[Rob S]

I'd say that unless the contact was excessive (personal foul type), its just first touching by K and its put in play at the 20 as it was. Rule 2 under blocking says an offensive player can ward off an opponent during a kick. It also says you and push, pull, or ward off if the ball is loose and he may legally touch or possess the ball. First touching is not illegal, so seems ok to me.
