If the FG attempt is from inside the 20, the spot is on the 20 yard line for a miss. Outside the 20 the spot is the previous spot (or the spot from which the kick was attempted - 7 yds back - Can't remember if the NFL rule is different from the NCAA rule).

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that rule. Shows how uncommon a missed FG is inside the 20. I was worried we could have gotten safetied for a loss.

Cal missed a short FG last week against Colorado who got the ball at the 20

I was probably too pissed off, sunburned, and drunk to notice

NFL is from where the kick is attempted. NCAA is from where they spotted the ball for the snap. Both put a kick from inside the 20 on the twenty.

Hmm... I remember being annoyed when this happened against Cal from earlier in the season but must be misremembering the actual game.
