Why are we still using Growden as the holder?

What is the idea behind this? It is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, why not just use McMillan or Lindsey Scott like we did with Kragthorpe a couple of years ago? I understand that the coaches may not want the QBs to miss any offensive practice time, but this is one of the reasons we lost to Florida last year. On that botched FG, Caleb Roddy was wide open in the back of the end zone and if we had a backup QB as the holder, it would've probably been a TD and we win the game. I just think its a bad decision to use the punter at holder, especially if there's a botched snap.

Of all the things to be truly concerned about with the season right around the corner, you write four lines on the place-holder?
The season can't get here soon enough

What percentage of NFL teams use their punter as a holder? 90?

Maybe because he does not have to do drills with the rest of the team. He punts and he holds. He and Kicker can plan workout time together.

How many times have you seen a backup QB holder complete a pass on a botched snap?

Special teams guys practice together. Punters frequently become de facto holders in snap, place, kick drills.
Kicker, snapper, and holder develop a timing and rhythm together. It is not uncommon for a kicker to suggest a preferred holder. As long as the trio has good timing and mechanics, many coaches are happy to oblige.
