[i]But how can it be a touchdown if the ball never touches the ground or an A player? Isn't that the definition of a legal snap? And is it not a rule that a "legal snap" will cause the ball to become live???

Man I am confused!
DeRock-
In the play above the snap WAS LEGAL.
It appears you are thinking that because the ball has not touched the ground or a backfield player it was not a legal snap.
Please note: The requirment of the ball touching the ground or a backfield player is only necessary WHEN AN "A" LINEMAN IS INVOLVED.
Restated, since a "TEAM A LINEMAN" was not involved in the play, the snap was legal!
I hope this helps
