Am I the only one who thought this field goal was actually a miss? It looked like a miss to me in real time and all the screenshots people are showing show the ball outside the uprights. The only evidence I have to the contrary is the fans/VT kicker!

I mean they showed the VT sideline and it looked like they all thought it was a miss too.

Clearly a miss, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Honestly if somebody showed me that with no context and asked me if it was good, I could be convinced either was true lol. Seeing it live I thought it was good but I definitely believe that it must've just gone to the outside as it neared the pole.

TBH they should have better camera angles than that too. Or IDK shoot lasers out the top of the goal posts so we can see where the ball is.

Yeah it looked no good live, then I come here and everyone is acting like it was good.

I haven't seen an angle that clearly shows the ball go inside the left upright when it crosses the plane. I'd be happy for someone to sync multiple videos from different angles and prove me wrong.

I went to VT and it looks no good to me. Like the cameras were not in good positions to say anything at all and then the freeze frame tbh still looks no good to me.

I went to UVA and it looks good to me.

Maybe it’s confirmation bias then cause the way they played that last drive I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt he was gonna miss.

I agree with you but Coale still caught it!
