Either way. This is called a place kick. The ball is placed on a tee or held and controlled on the ground or tree (I'd like to see that) umm, tee by another player.

They could also score points by successfully putting a drop kick through the uprights. A drop kick is when a player releases the ball and then kicks it as the ball touches the ground or after the ball touches the ground and begins its bounce upward.

Yes a kickoff is a type of free kick, but you can't score points on a kickoff. In order to score points on a free kick, it must follow a fair catch or awarded fair catch.

Can you score a FG on this play or is it just a touchback?
Thanks [/B]
This is just a touchback. No points for booting a kickoff through the uprights.
