Kickoff from the 5 yard line?

[Reffing Rev.]

Nebraska class A championship.

Team A, previously undefeated trails big. A scores a touchdown and commits a UNS. Enforcement is chosen for the kickoff. After the try another UNS by A, with succeeding spot enforcement. Kicking from K's 10 yard line, OFK (ENC) by K on the ensuing kickoff. Ball is then kicked off from K's 5.

Am I correct that we should be at the 7.5? Or do we always kick from a big line? I can't find a rule stating as such, but I'm sitting at home so I assume this crew knows their rules better than me.

We kick off from where we're supposed to kick off from ... no "big line" anything, whatever that is.

But half the distance from the 10 is the 5. How are you getting 7.5?

Because the 2nd USC should have moved the ball to the 12.5 and not the 10.

Start from the 40--15 yd penalty moves it to the 25.

25 yd line--15 yd penalty, which is now half the distance, moves it to the 12.5

12.5 yd line--5 yd penalty, moves it to the 7.5

No Rev. they fouled up the enforcement.

I'm still trying to figure out the choices team R has after a free kick to out-of-bounds when there's not enough distance from the previous spot to the goal line to take the previous-spot+25-yards option. The only thing I've gotten here is that they just can't take that choice, no specific alternative for that case.
