Picture that sensor or laser mounted on the goalpost uprights. One on each side. On a windy day those uprights often become out of plumb. A ball that is obviously good to the inside of an upright could break that beam and register no-good. Would not affect a call like Saturday other than the upright would have been leaning enough to appear good.
I'm a little tired of posts about the posts.
Bottom line....it's not the size of the post that matters.....it's how you use it.

Yeah I thought it was good but if it goes over the upright it is no good, I just couldn't believe the guy underneath looked at the other guy like he was asking him if it was good. I guess the only thing he could have seen was if it went between him and the upright but that clearly was the guy underneaths call.
It seems to me the refs look at each other on every FG attempt....as noted above, probably to ensure they're both signalling the same thing.
The ref said he missed. I guess that's all the proof we get. Announcer had an interesting point that no fans reacted.
It's college football. Education should never be ignored. Nice catch. (Ya geek!!Plane (as in geometry)
Sorry to be that guy

This explains it really well.
Kicker Marshall Koehn looked like he might’ve made a 47-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. The ball sailed high over the right upright. It was ruled wide right and no good. There wasn’t much argument from Iowa’s sideline, because those guys know rule NCAA football instant replay casebook.
“Section 3, Article 1-b of the case book states the following: “Field goal attempts (can be reviewed) if and only if the ball is ruled (b) inside or outside the uprights when it is lower than the top of the uprights. If the ball is higher than the top of the uprights as it crosses the end line, the play may not be reviewed.”
So, the Koehn kick wasn’t reviewable. You might remember Arizona State making one of these against Wisconsin in that crazy horrible officiated game from a few years ago at Arizona State.
I don’t get this rule. I vote for a change, but really, how do you know what’s good and what’s not over the upright?

So what is the story on our short goalposts, anyway? I'm guessing it's because the U of I likes to be able to fold them down onto the field so they never get torn down, and the taller ones can't be collapsed like that.
To my knowledge, Iowa is the only D1 program with those goofy-looking short goalposts. I'm not a fan. For a kick like Koehn's miss Saturday night, the ball might have bounced off the upright and through for a made FG.
Unless there's some other reason why the U of I insists on the stubby goalposts, I say let's get some big-boy goalposts.
