Virginia Tech is playing Miami tough.  They picked off Ward at the goal line and just went up 21-14 in with 6 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

 

It's over on ESPN if anyone is interested.

A freshman WR just dropped a perfect pass for  Rutgers. Fortunately, against UW's D, just a temporary setback. 

Halftime: VT 24 MIA 17 Go Hokies!

Tight game on national TV. Perfect spot for a Mari∅ Special!

LOVE IT. Huskies blocked a FG, but were called for illegal substitution. First down, Rutgers, then Touchdown, Rutgers 14-3

Academically prowessing.

Hokies extend their lead, 27-17.

Miami driving, Ward, 'so calm & collected, throws his 2nd INT of the game. 

Ack, that was the wrong time for a fake field goal, VT.  Could have made it 30-17.

On the bright side, UW's goal line offense this year is Cougtastic.

Ward takes it for a TD. These announcers love Cam Ward. 

To be fair to the announcers, they think the penalty that just took an explosive play away from VT was a "really bad call". It was. 

Miami's run defense looks like USC's against Michigan.  Pass D isn't that great either.

Touchdown pass, Hokies, 34-24. 12:05 left, 

Wow, VT is not flinching against Miami at all!  They just went back up by 10!  

Hard Rock sounds like a library compared to Autzen. 

The announcers just called Cam McCormick "The College Methuselah"!!

34-31 Va, Tech, time for nice, long TD drive, Hokies. 

Gag, VT has Ward sacked, but he gets a pass away. 1st down, Miam, 2 yard line. Gonna be sick. 

Huskies are Cougin it though!  The scarlet knights are up 21-10 with under 7 minutes to go.

VT needs a successful 2 minute drill.

Close to PI there, but no such luck...

Drones drew some groans with that pass.

 

One more play.

 

Mario trying to make sure he get all his time outs in!

 

 

Just. In. Time. To. Lose???

 

NOO00oooooooooooooooo, Dangit!

The call on the field is Touchdown! Don't rob Virginia Tech. 

VT got completely robbed, that was a horrible call by the refs

UNREAL. Announcers over and over again, nothing clear to overturn it. But of course, it's overturned. 

Sounds like refs were told to protect their potential CFP entry.

At least the Fuskies ate it tonight.

Thought it was a 50-50 call.  But, since the on-field call was a TD, should not have been overturned.

Well, the Refs on the field called it right. Replay Central protected them.

Miami vs. Virginia Tech: Andre Ware takes strong stance on controversial ending - On3

WWW.ON3.COM

---

Miami vs. Virginia Tech came down to a controversial ending, and ESPN analyst Andre Ware took a strong stance on the ruling.

 

I honestly didn't think he had control, looked like the ball moved as the player was landing, I never saw clear control.  Honestly don't think VaTech got hosed, totally would think that if I was a Hokie, but I thought it was the right call unfortunately.

 

Miami should go down like 2 spots though, that was not impressive at all.

If you can’t see clearly in like 30 seconds, should just default to call on the field.

The ball can be moving. What bothers me is that on the field it was ruled a touchdown, there had to be clear, indisputable evidence that the call was wrong. I didn't see that.

Yeah, but I never saw actual control by the receiver, I totally get the point of the call on the field, I just saw enough personally to go with the overturn, again I would be hopping mad if I was a Hokie fan.  It's one of those where it can go either way, and you better believe the ACC room was telling the official to overturn it.

Either way, the call should have stood, and I definitely agree about what the ACC wanted.
