Illegal Rule: 6-5-6
We had an entire crew miss this call. They gave the ball to K at the spot of the catch. This kind of kickoff doesn't happen very often, which is no excuse. The exception is on a punt.
On an onside kick, the covering official for the kicking team should know if the ball hits the ground first. The kicker usually tops the ball so that it hits the ground and then bounces up high so K can catch it, after it goes 10 yards.
