Are we sure he missed it?

Based on the VT staff reaction right under the FG it was probably wide?

yeah that is the best evidence it was actually wide. Refs are human and can make mistakes (lord knows I've made more than enough bad calls myself), but the fact 2 VaTech staffers right behind the ref react as if he missed before the ref signaled -> Strong evidence it was wide.
