That's a kickoff from the 35 yard line that hits the 10 and rebounds back almost to the 30 yard line. It's probably possible from a physics standpoint for that to happen, but it certainly isn't likely.

Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I somewhat agree in that the maximum football acceleration amount needs to toned down a little bit when the football hits the ground, but the football bouncing backwards doesn't happen that often (maybe 10% of the time) - I just chose that video as an example to illustrate the bouncing ball algorthm that I had created.

Good point about it happening more often on punts because of the way the ball spins!
