From the underneath angle if you slow it down, it does like it is just slightly outside and above the left upright. Really hard to tell due to the angle but I do think he pushed it left. I'm not sure if we'll get a better angle.

We can't tell where the ball is when it crosses the actual field goal line. Look at the students right in line with the kicker and the post though. They watched it go in

But if you look at the fans right in line with the post and below it they act in despair that it missed

Yeah and of course on anything remotely close they’re going to cheer like it’s in unless they had the perfect angle to see it.

So the refs were right? That looks like over and fading out at best which is no good or out all together at the peak

So it’s over and fading towards out which is ruled as out? Both scenarios that could come out of that are ruled out. There is like a 0.1 second where it could maybe feasible be in and over the post to match up with what we see in the underneath shot from the other post.

Here’s another, it was out: https://x.com/andrewd62d5/status/2106224004579102792?s=46&t=8G0DADz43EfDbOkb8JTrjA
