How does kicking off from 5 yards deeper result in a 15-25 yard shorter kick? I'm talking about the actual spot on the field where the ball hits or is downed. Seems like kicking off from 5 yards deeper ought to result in a 5 yard shorter kick, not three or four times that.

Granted I'm basing all of this off having watched way too much college football this week. Anyone have some stats on the average kickoff length and Hall's average kickoff? I still think he's gotta be quite a bit shorter than the norm.
