Bad Call Claims Victory for Miami But Refs are Suspended
It’s not too late. “And we did not get it right”. 18 Duke on a disputed touchdown as time expired.
Officiating in college football is fickle.
The league announced Sunday a series of errors occurred during the play, which featured eight laterals off a Duke kickoff and ended with a 91-yard touchdown run by the Hurricanes’ Corn Elder at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C.
“You can’t change it after the game’s over”, Petrino said Monday when asked about the idea of retroactively changing a game’s result. Miami then ruled out starting quarterback Brad Kaaya with a concussion for the game against Duke.
Except it wasn’t a win.
“It really doesn’t do anything to me”, Miami interim coach Larry Scott said Sunday morning.
The refs messed up Miami vs. Duke. Inexplicably, it did not. I counted very carefully as the play was going on and there were only 11 men on the field for Miami.
“We turn in calls after each game that we have a problem with and they give us the feedback”. Because the officials messed up.
“There was nothing to see but comments on the game and video replays”, Skura said. The two wrinkles int he passing game are running back Shaquille Powell and tight end Erich Schneider.
It should have been called.
It would be the right thing to do, which means it’s never going to happen. Whoops. Sorry, fellas. Our bad. “And I think pictures will prove me right”, Cutcliffe said. Several Duke players appeared to be just standing around on the field, unsure what was happening.
For the Blue Devils (6-2, 3-1), the path to first place in the Coastal Division is exactly the same as it was a week ago. Talk about eventful. Here are four important updates from the college football world in this week’s news and notes. That could change Saturday night against the Panthers. The winningest active FBS coach in the country, Beamer has led Virginia Tech to a bowl game in every season since 1993 and has four ACC titles to go with a 234-120-2 career record.
That type of incompetence deserves more than just punishment for the officials, it deserves an intervention and a reversal by the NCAA.
Okay, so it took nine minutes. The game is over. In the end, the referee, Jerry Magallanes, issued an explanation that made little sense, and declared that the play was legal, and proclaimed that Miami had won the football game.
But the rules never could have accounted for this scenario. “We did what we were supposed to do”. Where would it all stop?
But the last play was not the only controversial moment in the game. “The officials on the field got wise on the next play, and did not blow a whistle until the Spartans” defense, which had again stopped the Michigan runner, relaxed, thinking the play was over. Making it more interesting is the fact that Duke and UNC will play each other next week. The game was over.
Duke’s Defensive StandardRedshirt senior goalkeeper Lauren Blazing and the Duke back line have held opponents to two goals or less in 10 consecutive contests…
What set this finish between Duke and Miami apart, of course, isthat the referees blatantly got it wrong.
Miami beat Duke, thanks to a minor miracle.
“If we do have questionable calls, for our education we’ll send them in so we can better teach our kids why a call was made on them, or if a call was missed”.
“You did do what you’re supposed to do to win”, he said. “We’ll go from there”. Uh, because it would be weird. And you know what?
RT: Hey, weren’t we supposed to have another ref here today for this interview?
According to National Football League head of officials and Fox analyst Mike Pereira, when a player fumbles the ball after the two-minute warning in a half, only the fumbling player may recover and/or advance the ball.
It embarrassed itself even more by refusing to fix it even though it could. A Duke victory creates a three-way tie for first with the Tar Heels and Pittsburgh – and the Blue Devils face the Panthers next week.
