Yeah. Maybe the more interesting scenario is it rolls back into the endzone and

kicking team "downs" it. On a normal kick, the kicking team touching the ball downs it at the spot and it is the other team's ball. Would this be a touchdown without the receiving team ever even touching the ball? It seems weird to call it a safety. Not sure this will ever happen in a game.

If either the receiving or kicking team knocked it out of the EZ, it's a safety.

You can't change possession on a touch. A ball can become live off of it, but
