Hmmm I looked it up and it states the ball must go between the plane (the two uprights) and therefore if it goes over one, it’s not considered good. Someone with more knowledge may need to chime in, but it doesn’t matter now lol.

between between the far left edge and the far right edge... Or
Between the inside left and the inside right?
This is what happened back in 2011 during the OSU game. The ball was higher than the upright and went right over the top of it and was called no good.

I think we had something similar on the kick that would have won the bowl game against Alabama
The deceptive thing on the field goals is that FOX uses the cable camera from behind the kicker when we’re used to a straight on view from behind the goal posts. It tended to make things look tighter on the left hash than they may have been from a traditional camera angle. It made Konrardy’s 2nd field goal look really tight to the upright as well.
In college football the ball must be INSIDE the inner edge of the post to be good - unlike the NFL where it just has to be inside the outer edge of the upright.
Two examples of kicks over the upright that were ruled no good were Tony Yelk's attempt v. Alabama in the Independence Bowl and #2 OSU's attempt toward the end of regulation at ISU in 2011.
That is the NFL rule. The college rule requires the ball to be entirely inside the upright.
From Wikipedia
The entire ball must pass through the vertical plane of the goal, which is the area above the crossbar and between the uprights or, if above the uprights, between their outside edges
So I think you are correct in your understanding
Wiki is not differentiating college from NFL FG. Over the upright is good in NFL, but is not in college. In college the ball must be entirely inside a line along the inner edge of the upright extended.
Brahmer was also held on an end zone throw that went over his head in the first quarter that lead to a FG attempt.
My grandson, who is a freshman at ISU, described Iowa's offense this way: "Iowa's offense, brought to you by Melatonin". Because it puts you to sleep watching it.
No, I’m sure that they practice other things, too
Passing, however, is not among them.
Sickening. They were grabbing our receivers all day. I think when we did it tho when they scored their TD, ISU guy held on a second too long. Iowa is brilliant at holding for just enough not to get flagged.
