In American college football, there has never been the possibility of a 14-yard field goal attempt. Unlike Canadian football, and the NFL prior to the mid-1970s, college football goalposts have never been on the goal line but rather always on the end line at the back of the end zone. Placements for extra points and field goals need to be seven for eight yards behind the line of scrimmage to give the kicker a chance to elevate the ball sufficiently over the defensive line of the opposing team. This must've either been a 24-yard attempt, or an attempt from the 14 as the line of scrimmage, which would've been a 31- or 32-yard attempt. 2600:1004:B148:E817:69B3:F6CD:8961:D605 (talk) 04:16, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
