I think part of the confusion is College vs NFL
In COLLEGE the entire ball must pass inside the inside edge of the upright. in other words entirely between the uprights. In NFL the ball mus pass inside the outside edge of the upright. in other words over the upright.
This kick in a college bowl game ( or any college game) was no good. this kick in the NFL would have been good.
This kick in a college bowl game ( or any college game) was no good. this kick in the NFL would have been good.
The rule states that the ball must go BETWEEN the uprights. Therefore, if it is OVER the upright, it is not good. I'm just not sure the ball was OVER the upright. I thought it was INSIDE and therefore good.Whaaaaatttt?
Over is not good. It must be "between the uprights" according to the rule book.Why isn't this review-able.
And either way, the refs explanation was wrong. It was not outside the upright. It was over the upright or good. Not outside.
Over is not good. It must be "between the uprights" according to the rule book.
Yes, that's why I separated them.
If they were explaining why it was no good they should have just said that. The ball was clearly not "outside" anything.
Hence it was either over the upright (thus, no good) or inside the upright (and good).
Outside is just not a realistic answer. It's 100% factually incorrect.
