When LSU pulled the fake FG, the right knee of the holder was down when he threw the ball. Is this legal? I thought that if it was a fake that the holder had to rise from the ground when he received the snap. They allow the knee to be down for a kick but was that really a legal pass?


BTW, I'm not saying I wish he was down (I'm glad he wasn't because we would have lost), I'm just asking what the rule really says in that situation.

It's legal. There's an exception for FGs. Otherwise, wouldn't every FG be a loss of 7 yards?
