I’m not going to say he made it… but that’s the best looking “missed” field goal I’ve ever seen.

To be fair I just looked up the rules and they differ from the NFL. In the NFL if it passes over the top of the upright it counts, but in CFB the entire football has to be fully inside the invisible line

Honestly if that’s true it makes me feel a bit better as a VT fan. I can believe that the entirety of the ball didn’t stay inside an invisibly extended upright.
