Then I must be out of date on this, and Fed has diverged in its definitions from the NCAA code, by which only a punt, place, or drop kick were defined as "a kick". Or did Fed keep the definition of "a kick", and overlay on this a definition of "free kick" and "scrimmage kick"? Seems a lot easier to treat free and scrimmage kicks as rules rather than definitions.
