Touchback/Safety

Had a situation today in a college Intramural game using NFL rules.

Kickoff into the end zone is touched by the receiving team, bounces around in end zone. Defensive team gets downfield, falls near ball. The player deflects the ball towards the back of the end zone, it goes out of bounds with the KICKING team being the last to touch it, then he falls on it and assumes "possession" (literally about an inch behind the OOB line). What's the ruling?
