Eagler read article again.  You can't spike from a long snap, according to the refs.  There's an audio link to the right which explains it.
The holder did the right thing.  And the linemen (specifically #65) did the wrong thing.  Of course none of it would have mattered if the refs had made the right call.  A festival of stupidity.
Can you imagine if #69 had managed to haul that in for the TD?  It would have been one of the greatest plays in history.  Okeafor did a good job covering him, because the throw was on the money.
