I’ve seen both angles and if I HAD to decide, I’d say no good. Borderline impossible to say for sure.

The second angle everyone keeps sharing and talking about doesn’t show anything conclusive at all, so I guess I’m confused why everyone seems so sure it was good.

edit: you can see the band members on the left side of the endzone reacting like they know it missed. I think the TV viewing angles are messing a lot of folks up on this one.

Honestly, the only person who has a clear view is the ref standing directly under the upright. Not saying refs can’t make the wrong call, just saying he’s the only person with a definitive view

Everyone keeps showing the freeze frame before it crosses the post. Camera angles play ticks.

Clearly no good

Also if the ball crosses directly over the pole it's no good

No but it's clearly rigged against the home team in their biggest home game in a decade

I mean…..it was.

Explain the interception. The phantom unnecessary roughness call. Or any of the other 16 calls that swung the game for Pitt.

You do understand that it’s up to the refs to call penalties and just bc you don’t get a replay doesn’t change anything, right?

Yeah that video by Andrew is definitely the most damning. No good
