Like rugby, starting from the point the scoring team crossed the goal line, they could march the ball onto the field as far as they wanted, but perpendicular to the goal line. That worked well if they scored near the goal posts but not near the sideline. That is when team often chose to puntout. I cover the process and puntout here: https://www.footballarchaeology.com/p/archaic-football-the-puntout
