Why is a normal kickoff not a live ball until touched by the receiving team, but an onside kick is live?
Q. An onside kick is when the ball is kicked at least 10 yards...and then it's live. The receiving team does not need to touch it for it to be live. The kicking team can recover it as soon as it travels 10 yards. But if the ball is kicked deep...it's not live until the reveiving team touches it. So how far does a kickoff need to be kicked before it's no longer a live ball? What am I missing here?

on an onside kick what is the max distance before the kicking team can only down the ball and not recover it?
Q. if a team kicks the ball 40 yards they can touch it and down it. But on an onside kick they can kick more than 10 yards and revcover it. Neither depend on the receiving team to touch the ball.

A. On a kickoff the ball is live when it passes 10 yards. If you are thinking of a punt that is down when the kicking team touches it

Why Was Oregon St Able To Do An Onside Kick After A Saftey?
Q. Toward to the end of the AZ Wildcats and Oregon St Football Game, Arizona Scored a safety on Oregon St. Then Oregon did an onside kick. I thought after a saftey it was a "Free" Kick and then had to punt. Why were they able to do that? "Free" Kick I thought ment you dont have to worry about the other team getting the ball unless you touch it, which Arizona did not.
Asked by James C - Mon Sep 28 11:23:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A "free kick" is similar to a kickoff, not a punt. The kicking team has a choice of punting or kicking from a tee, but the same rules apply otherwise. Once the ball has traveled 10 yards, it's a live ball. If the kicking team recovers, it's their ball, first and 10. Not many teams try it, due to the fact that they are kicking off from the 20 yard line. Hope this helps.

What allows a recover of an onside kick?
Q. As far as I can find, the ball has to travel 10 yards minimum, or touched by the receiving team, before the kicking team can recover it. However, what defines the boundaries? A regular kick off can be downed by the kicking team, but cannot be recovered (with no touch of course). So, what I am really asking is there a maximum distance the ball can travel, or what?
Asked by ssmit233 - Sun Jan 10 13:49:29 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, a punt can be downed by the kicking team. If the kicking team kicks it deep and it rolls to the 5 and they come pick it up, it's their ball. Kickoffs and punts have different rules. As long as it goes past 10 yards on a kickoff no matter where the ball is if the kicking team gets it it's theirs. A punt is only if the other team touches it first.

Asked by MadDog - Sat Nov 21 18:38:43 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Gee Bob, how could anyone give a thumbs down on a correct answer? There are two types of legal kicking plays: free kicks and scrimmage kicks. There are three metods of kicking: punt, place kick, and drop kick. There is no requirement that a free kick after a safety be done by punting, although it is the most common method. It could also be done by a drop kick or a place kick (the NFL does not allow a tee for this, but NCAA and HS do). Because it is a free kick, the kicking team can gain possession if the ball travels 10 yards (and touches the ground in HS) or touches a receiving team player. It could even be accomplished off of a punt.

Asked by tayhawk24 - Tue Jan 22 18:47:59 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. well first of all depends on what system you have it for. me i have it for 360 as well. but i can still help you. first during the kickoff choose a different formation. the onside kick should come up. select the one you want. now the easiest way getting the ball back would be this. aim it lower. not too low though or you will be penalized. after that make the worst kick you can do. that means the power should be low.( don't kick the ball to the side now ) but you know what i mean. it should send the ball closest to you and then just dive for it. this would be the easiest way for me. but i think you should try it. give your opinion.

A. YEA!!! I hated that thing too, it was so annoying but it's very simple, you got a PlayStation 3 right? Basically press square and then press L1. By doing so you can switch to the position your opponent is using, if he chickens out and goes for the normal kick simply press square and L1 again and you will go back to your normal deep kick receiving play.
