what is the difference between the following two situation
(1) normal kickoff (kicking team just score TD or FG) or free kick, kicker kick it in the air and ball hit the ground on receving side's 15 yard, kicking team down the ball. Result: receving team's possession
This wouldn't happen during a free kick (kickoff). This situation describes what might happen during a scrimmage kick (punt on 4th down, for example).
(2) normal kickoff (kicking team just score TD or FG) or free kick, kicker kick it short for 15 yards, hit the ground, kicking team down the ball. Result: kicking team's possession
This is a free-kick situation (kickoff- usually off a tee). The kicking team can recover the ball but not advance it. They'll have first down and 10.
