They really don't show a good shot of where the ball was actually placed, but around the 2 second mark they have a shot of where the holder will place the ball, and it is beyond 63 yds...again, if I'm seeing this right.

You be the judge!

What you're forgetting is that the goal post are a yard deep in the endzone which made Dempsey's 63 yards. It was kicked from between the 38 and 37 yard line.
