Fake field goals

[SyracuseHorn]

When the FG holder catches the ball, his knee is down. How can he get up and run on a fake FG? Does the holder have some sort of exception (because the play would normally be dead before the kick)? I don't really understand the rule here. Any referees?

Yes, there is a specific exception in the rulebook for the holder in this situation.

Ah, good to know. I'd always wondered the same thing myself.
