Maybe a bug, or maybe I don’t understand college rules

Wait, I thought the ball was dead once it hit the upright - it either goes between for a score or doinks back out, but it's still live?

Edit - Okay, apparently I'm a dumb ***. The kick was blocked but I swore up and down the ball hit the upright. I'm getting to old for this.

You are correct. A ball that hits the upright is dead. Will need to check with my ref buddy about the crossbar.
