The pass was incomplete.

I believe that was the right call after the review that the pass was incomplete as the Hurricanes hang on to beat the Gobblers. The ESPN commentators was silenced and maybe in disbelief after the play was reviewed and called incomplete.

Not sure if Miami is a playoff team with how their defense performed tonight.

In the third quarter the Gobblers should have kicked the field goal instead of the doomed fake field goal.

Wow, how id the refs miss this ? This is just obvious.

It wasn’t that call that changed the game. Once again, the referees decided the outcome of the game when they threw the bogus made up holding Call on Virginia Tech when they’re running back ran for a long touchdown. It was late in the game and that game was sealed with that run. The ref threw a flag and the player tagged made a great block. Announcers were stunned.

I have said it on here many times, but the article I read many years ago on a plane from a referee who wanted to remain anonymous, talked about how he could change the game by simply dropping the proverbial holding flag anytime he wanted.

Miami got beat….ACC refs said no.

 

[Harvard Gamecock]

My take on the last play.

When you watch all the players come down, after a brief pause you see #43 for Miami come away with the ball. Then the refs rush in confer and make the call.
But at that point, it appears to me, that the refs are now rushing in to take a look, then they confer, then make a call. In my opinion, if they weren't right on top of the play, and you have to discuss the circumstances, you should not be awarding a TD without 1oo% certainty on your part.

I agree that call is questionable, but on replay from behind the line, the ref throws the flag immediately, way before the VT RB is running down the field, so the ref could not possibly know what the outcome of the play would have been..

To be fair, there were 1 or 2 PI's against Miami, that were pretty shoddy, considering for the most part that was going on most of the game for both sides.

The climactic play was not incorrectly called. As for the rest, it is sad to say, but there are missed calls in EVERY game, as we all very well know. What I know this morning is that Miami, whom I had counted on to deny UPC the ACC Championship this year, are not as good as they first appeared. They are good at quarterback, however, which goes a long way. Virginia Tech is better than their record, but that's cold comfort for them.

It's a long way to go, and maybe Miami is not as good as advertised, or maybe it's one of those games where the underdog plays above their heads in their first conference game.
Same can be said if anyone watched the UGA-UK game. UGA offense certainly looked suspect. Which could be erased tonight.
By game 7-8 most teams will reveal what their true nature is.

From what I observed, I can't figure out how the official ruled it a TD. I couldn't see any clear possession by either team. The QB threw the ball too far such that the receiver's body could have been touching the end line when he came down.

We'll know all we need to know about Georgia by suppertime tonight.

They got the call correct in the end. It was clearly not a complete pass per NCAA rules. It was not even close. A receiver must maintain possession through the fall to the ground and the ball clearly came out when he hit the ground.

Official ruling is that the ball touched a player (Miami) while they were out of bounds, thereby making the pass incomplete at that moment, which immediately ends the play.

And the reason why it ended up with the defender is the receiver did not complete the pass. And that was my point.
