Are the footballs the kickers kick any different from the footballs they use on normal offensive plays? I know they are the same size, but are the kickers balls aired up more or less?

From what I understand they actually weight more than a normal football but, I could be wrong.
NCAA and NFL rules both state that the football to be used must be regulation size.
With all the footballs used in the course of a D-I NCAA or NFL game, I would think it may be hard to keep up with one ball that may have a little more air in it than the others, etc...

I remember watching NFL games and them showing balls with a "K" to label it as the kicking ball and I know they banned that recently.
Found this article about it - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2726072
Things sure have changed as far as returns go according to this article.
