REPLY: BktBallRef said, "He is not required to put his knee on the ground." That's true in general, but if the team plans on using the numbering exception, then they must be in a legal scrimmage kick formation. That DOES require that the holder has a knee (or knees) on the ground. So if a team had less than five numbered 50-79 on the line and ran the play from the original post, there would be illegal formation at the snap.
