re: is Tennessee always so far offsides on onside kicks

I always thought that lining up or passing the ball before it's kicked, was the same as an "offsides on the offense" ie a whistle and dead play, I guess kicking team is not the same as offense. I guess after the ball is kicked its like the proverbial "free ball", still needs to go 10 yards before touched and they didnt really come close to that either time either. Neither of those plays was as close to a "proper" onside recovery as a lot of Tenn fans want to believe, but hey the refs sucked much of the night, why should that get those right too!
