[QUOTE="Milwaukee, post: 189777, member: 1428"] You guys are correct. So after the debacle they claimed that they reversed the call based on their discussion, and not the review. But that's just not true. The play was reviewed to watch for a knee down, then the official leaves the replay booth and jogs out to make his call. He says, and I quote: "It's been determined that the players knee was not down. Since there was a penalty against Miami there will be a final untimed down"...he then is interrupted by ANOTHER official over by the replay booth. So he turns the mic back on and says, and I quote: "We will review the play a second time." He goes back to the replay booth, under the hood. He then jogs back out and announces, and I quote: "The block in question was from the side, not from behind, therefore the final result of the play is a touchdown." Not sure I've ever seen an ending mishandled quite like that. The odd thing is that the zebras were blatantly giving Duke the ballgame with their comeback. It was very obvious from the penalties being called against Miami in the final 3 minutes. I agree with the final ruling, I didn't think a block in the back should've been called. But they went to review to look at the block in question on the 2nd review, the official even announced such. I think immediately after the game they found their loophole for their botched using of the replay and just said that they picked up the flag based on discussion, and not video review. Hey ACC officials: Don't pee on our leg and tell us it's raining. [/QUOTE]
