Wednesday question

To add some clarification:

The holder had his knee on the ground when he fumbled the snap. He then picked up the ball and started to run.

When the runner was airborne the ball was over the sideline when it contacted the pylon. No part of the runner was touching the ground when the ball contacted the pylon.

I'll post the ruling we had this weekend.

I don't want to be a stickler for using the correct terms, but this is a muff, not a fumble (assuming that holder "dropped" the snap without gaining possession). The only reason this really matters here is that the NF rule deals with a muffed snap, not a fumbled snap (am I correct to say that a fumbled snap cannot happen?).
