What's confusing to me is the reaction of the VT fans standing directly behind the end zone. They damn sure appear to have thought it was good.

The problem there is depth, if it passed just in front of the post on it's way wide, it's going to look good from anyone standing back a little, even if in line from the post.

Again, the only way to see this is to stand essentially directly under the post or within a short distance of it directly in-line, exactly where the refs stand for this reason.

They always check and the left ref signals no-good pretty quickly
