The three options for the receiving team are:
1. Back kicking team up 5 yards and rekick.
2. Take the ball 25 yards beyond the spot of the kick (if this won't put the ball in the receiving team's end zone).
3. Take the ball where it went out of bouonds.
So the receiving team could keep backing the kicking team up and making them rekick if the wanted.
