Wow overturned. I think the ACC did that to keep Miami in the playoff chase for real.
I was. I think they made that call to hope to get 2 acc teams n playoff. Miami and Clemson are accs only hope.
I’d be seriously pissed off if I was VT. The call on the field was a TD too. Not enough to overturn that.
Really a close call. From one angle it looked like VT came down with the ball. From another it appeared that the ball was jarred loose by a VT player's leg before the receiver had complete control. Wild ending. Could have gone either way. I don't see how you overturn that call when it was not clearly one or the other.
I don’t think he had control, but it was too hard to tell from the replay to overturn imo.
Refs got it right finally IMO. Incompletion. He had the ball until his butt hit the ground or VT player then it popped out. He didn't maintain control all the way through.
After watching the replay several times, I think it was incomplete. The receiver was falling down as he attempted the catch, so he had to maintain control as he hit the ground, which he didn’t appear to do. The back angle seems to show the ball move pretty much the instant he hits the ground, and if he ever fully got it back, it certainly wasn’t before the Miami player touched it while being out of bounds, which would kill the play.
The refs made their job a lot harder by calling a touchdown on the field though. As hard as it was to find the ball on some of those replays, that initial call left some wiggle room for it not to be completely unreasonable to claim the play should have stood due to inconclusive evidence.

You call it a TD you need clear evidence. Not sure if they had that.
Seems like a "Well, we want a couple of teams in the playoffs, screw VT" kind of move.
It's probably incomplete. But if you call it a TD on the field, you basically just yanked a win away from a team on a "maybe" Crap move imo.

VT receiver had the ball, went to the ground and the player for Miami out of bounds hit it out of his hand. That is a secondary play on the ball and he’s not in bounds, the TD should stand.
I completely disagree
The back camera shows as he is landing, the ball is under his forearm, he is trying to trap it against his body, so he never had control, then the Miami player pokes it out. Definitely an incomplete pass.
He initially grabbed the ball with 2 hands, pulled it toward his body and secured it. It wasn’t until he was on the ground that it started moving like that. These control issues are dumb. That’s a catch. Even if you disagree there was not enough evidence to overturn the on field call, we both got screwed.
This. Plus if they had to look that long, obviously there isnt conclusive video evidence.
So far this season in general, it seems refs are just making the replay call they think happened rather than going by the evidence standards.
To add to my original post, I think it was incomplete. I'm not sure how it was called a TD originally.
I do think once they did that, it wasn't 100% conclusive to overturn.

ACC business decision. No way in hell they were gonna let a team that lost to the worst teams in the SEC and B10 beat Miami. The Official that overturned the decision lives in Miami. 😆
