first touching

K kicks onside but puts such a spin on the ball that it travels backward. The ball is rolling along on K's 35 yard line and R attempts to pick it up. Luckily, he recovered it. But if he didn't could K have recovered and gained possession?

It seems like they could have but I was unsure because the recovery was behind the free kick line.

Any thoughts?

6-1-5: "Any K player may recover the ball before it goes beyond R’s free-kick line if it is touched first by any receiver."
