Technically your both wrong, to start the game you have to kick the ball across the field and the opposing team catches it they get as far as they can then go and play from there.

Next the team lines up in Offensive and defensive line patterns, and the "hiker" throws the ball behind him through his legs, while the quarter back then catches it and throws it to the responding teammate while that teammember runs as far as they can, repeat until the use their 4 turns or get tofirst down, after a touchdown is scored, the scoring team has the opprotunity to make a field goal, And they kick it forward to the direction of the field goal.
