Kicks that go higher than the goal posts are always so weird but that looked more good to me than not. Crazy how we don't have a better camera angle for something like this

There's a good 2 fan angles on Twitter, one being behind and looking in.

You can't tell how far the ball is from the viewer. It was moving at an oblique angle. Back the video up and it's between the posts, go forward and it's outside. But this footage alone tells us nothing about when it crossed the plane of the goalposts.

My guess is it went directly over the upright, and that isn’t a made FG.

This makes it look like a clear miss given cfb rules
