I'm pretty sure that the rule is: if the defending team touches the ball after it is blocked, then the ball is live. Otherwise, it's a dead ball and the other team takes posession.

It has to be downfield for it to be a live ball. Touching it behind the LOS doesn't change anything.

Has to cross the line of scrimmage. This JUST happened last week with Iowa and Iowa State. Since it crossed the line, change of possession.
