NCAA Touchback or Not?

NCAA rules.

Ball is fumbled by the offense almost at the goal line.

Nose of the now loose ball hits the marked goal line stripe about halfway through the stripe.

Ball bounces back and out of bounds just short of the goal line.

Ruled out of bounds at the 6" line - offense kept possession.

Defense argued that it should have been a touchback because the fumbled ball broke the plane before going out of bounds.

Which is correct and why?
