Question
were the college goal posts always located at the back of the end zone?

Answer
George, hello!

No, they were moved back sometime in the late 60's!  I'll try and find the last year they were at the goal line.


It's in some of the attached history sites.  Hopefully, I've attached them for you to help me explore!
