this is not hurdling which is against an opponent. This is illegal personal contact
using an opponent or a team mate to gain an unfair advantage.
15 yards

Even if the snapper did have a hand on the ground momentarily, this is a safety foul and officials should err on the side of protecting the players. I would have no problem if hurdling were called on this. Just because the center has his hand on the ground is "ticky-tack" as far as I'm concerned. The hurdling rule was designed to for players to be able to jump over other players on that are on the ground during the course of a normal scrimmage.

High jumping the LOS is not what they had in mind and could potentially get a kid hurt...badly.

IMO....call this one every time.
