The announcers are acting like a regular PAT would have been a chip-shot.

BYU blocked the kick. It's not like it fell short, because the kicker had too little leg. I know the trajectory changes slightly with the greater distance, but that kick is blocked whether it was spotted on the 1, or the 45 yard lines. BYU's front blew up the kicking team. Blew up.
