    It says he can pass from his knees OR rise.

    Answer: NFHS & NCAA rules: The holder is not down if he catches the snap with his knees on the ground, as long as there is a player in position to kick the ball. It is not required that a kick actually be attempted. So once the holder has the ball he may place and hold the ball for the kicker, OR:

    NCAA: He may pass, handoff, etc. from his knees--or he may rise to advance, pass, handoff etc.,

    look at the tape. Flynn was off of his knee. Also it wasn't a no look pitch like the media says. He looked then he pitched. He was off of his knee. LSU wouldn't pratice this play if it were not permited.

    My bad! I must of still had my buzz on when I saw the tape. I was wrong, wrong, wrong. He was on his knee and he didn't look. What a buzz I had...lol Take a look at this clip. My favorite is Les laughing. That sent chills up my spine. :hihi:

    I remember hearing that Les (at some point before this game) showed the play to NCAA officials and they said it was perfectly legal.
