"On Sunday (2015), the ACC announced that the on-field officiating crew, the replay official and the communicator have all been suspended. In a statement, the league admitted that a Miami runner was indeed down, and that the game should have ended before the Hurricanes reached the endzone. The league also noted that officials missed an illegal block in the back on Miami’s 16-yard line, as well as a dead ball foul after a Miami player ran on the field of play from the sideline."

@RobertPaceII 5 жыл бұрын

This was a crazy moment, but for me personally because I know how great Miami use to be, this was also just as sad as good. A Miami Hurricane football team needed a miracle play to beat Duke in football. On top of that this Miami team wasn't very good either. Duke really should have won this game. Miami has not been "THE U" since about 2004 around the time Brock Berlin took over as signal caller. The same time Miami left the Big East for the ACC also. I still can't get used to Miami being fitted by Adidas either. Not the same program I grew up on.

This play is infamously known for being some of the worst reffing of all time. Just google it. There is review evidence showing the knee down. There is review evidence of multiple blocks in the back. There is review evidence of a player entering the field without a helmet thus negating the play. Lastly, the refs on the field called illegal block in the back and reviewed it and overturned. That isn't allowed by rule. You can't review that penalty at that time (I'm sure penalties at the end of games will become reviewable at sometime in the future). The NCAA officially said this play was reffed incorrectly. That is all.
