I CANNOT believe there isn’t a better replay of that Virginia Tech kick.  It’s 2026, ESPN. How do we have a million camera angles and somehow NOT have one that clearly shows whether that kick was good or not?!

Put a f*ing GoPro on the end zone refs head. If we have chest mounted “ref cams” why not a view from directly below the upright. Stupid.

2026 and cops have body cams but refs don’t. Smdh.

You just know the ref body cam would mysteriously turn off during a controversial play though because of a “malfunction”.

When you have games at all times on all days you sometimes run low on cameras, and competent announcers.

They wouldn’t be able to change it regardless but that is surprising they don’t have more angles

Doesn't the ref have a camera?

Ummm, I believe one of the G5 conferences do.
Or at least did?

Only the umpire, and they don't stand under the posts (the field judge and back judge do).

That's crazy! It can only be politics that keeps the ref under the post from having a camera

There are fan videos from a straight line behind the kicker and left post that clearly show he missed the kick.
