What If a field goal is kicked through then gets pushed out by wind?

nothing, a player will normally be there to catch it and play on. It's not a score because field goals must be attempted on a scrimmage down, not on a free kick like a kickoff. The only exception is the fair-catch kick, which allows you to attempt a field goal immediately after a fair catch. Therefore, if a kickoff goes through the uprights (and subsequently lands out of play), it is simply a touchback for the receiving team.


How far from line of scrimmage is fg holder?

Lets say its fourth and three from the 30 yard line and a field goal is attempted. The ball will be kicked from the 30 yard line but the ball must travel 47 yards to go through the uprights. The uprights are 17 yards deep in the end zone. So to figure the distance of a field goal attempt just add 17 yards to the line of scrimmage.

Why is a field goal called a field goal in basketball?

The football, after being kicked by the place kicker, must travel over the crossbar and between the two uprights of the goal post. It can hit one of these bars, but it must then bounce in such a way that it still goes over the crossbar and between the uprights. There is no limit on how high the football can go. The "uprights", though they have a finite physical length, are considered, for the purposes of the game, to extend upward infinitely.
