You can tell how high the ball went by the length of time it took for the ball to return back to the screen. The ball goes straight up and hits/nearly hits the quarterback in question in the head. All the blame keeps coming back on the officials. Where's the finger pointing at the linemen who failed to block the BYU players who ended up blocking the PAT attempt?
