I can't fucking stand Denard, I know that this motherfucker be Chief Keefing his playbook. That's why he is on the field always looking like wtf

They call this dumbass shoelace because he's too fucking stupid to learn how to tie them. Vince Young is going to have a competitor for that Hall of Shame Wonderlic score. Just watch.

Probably for the same reason that every single field goal attempt isn't blown dead as soon as the holder catches it.

I get that, because its a an attempt. But I feel like if its a fake you have to stand up, this isnt a fg attempt its just like going for it on 4th on a weird formation.
 
Denard Robinson is horrendous. UM should be up by 14 in this game.

bucknuticus,

Thanks for the question. The reason is because of Rule 4-1-3(b, exception). This rule creates the exception to the ball being declared dead when a player's knee is down touching the ground. The exception applies only to the HOLDER when an offensive player kicks or simulates kicking the ball for a place kick (Field Goal). By rule the ball may be advanced, kicked or passed.

In college football the hold may place his knee on the ground and the ball is not declared dead.

I took some time to answer this question as I wanted to research the history of the rule as to why this is allowed. Through extensive research I could not find the explanation by the rules committee "why" there was an exception other than the obvious.

The holder is a position that holds the ball for a place kick. After receiving the snap it would be illogical to declare the ball dead because the holder's knee was on the ground. It would defeat the purpose of a holder and the purpose of a place kick.

The old football rules declared the ball became dead in player possession when the player was down by contact (much like the current NFL rule). I suspect the origin of this 4-1-3(b) exception dates back to the late 1800's.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to follow-up or ask further questions. Additionally it would be appreciated if you would rate this response.

Thanks again,
mre

+1 would read again.

Followup question sir! Can I declare any player a holder on my team at any point in time? I declare my WR a holder!
 
Vandy's punter is the only player on the team that showed up to punt. What a punt.
