About that missed kick

That’s the NFL rule. In college, the entire ball has to be inside the upright.
Ball was moving right to left. It really depends on where it was at the moment it reached the post. The pic makes that hard to tell, Even the way the refs are looking doesn't indicate it's there yet. It might be, but with the one responsible for that post too far inside, there was no way for him to know.
if that is indeed the ball at the top of the goalpost, it is a missed FG
Ref is a “few feet” too far inside? More like six inches at most. It’s never going to be perfect….but that ref is the only one that can see it for certain. Too much is being made out of this. He missed it.
No surprise YOU would argue that. Just accept our lot, we suck anyway. That is SO old loser MSU. Enough of this loser crap. He made it.
I didn’t. I’m also a USC fan…we lost to Notre Dame. I bet you are a Notre Dame fm.
The picture is after the ball had gone through. It was slicing and went through the extended vertical plane.
Ferrie thought the kick was good, and I don't think he was faking it. There's not really a good position a person can be in to tell for sure. Maybe they need a series of cameras similar to what cars have now to tell exactly. But I suppose that would be taking things to the extreme.
The goal line cameras they used in last night's game must have been left over from a previous generation. They appeared to be well before the current HD standard, probably from the 80s or 90s. The cameras may have belonged to UF and not ESPN. I was at the game we won when Mullen beat Myer, and their "Jumbotrons" had such a distorted picture and low resolution that you couldn't tell what was going on. I think they got new video boards/video system the following season.
This game didn't get the best equipment (or announcers) that ESPN/SECN has.

Ball is well past the goalpost at that point. Picture is meaningless.
I've seen lots of hooks on a ball. Never seen one at the apex hook over 2 feet to the right in a span of 6 feet in depth. We missed it. Entire ball has to go entirely inside the upright in college.
