That’s the whole thing though man.. yes- super tough call- but nothing to overturn so you have to- by rule- go with the call on the field.Tough call, but I think it was incomplete because the player out of bounds touched it when it wasn't secured.
The replay booth probably doesn't overturn that if it benefited Miami though...
That’s the thing. I don’t think there was indisputable evidence that it wasn’t a catch so I think the call on the field should’ve been a TD.Tough call, but I think it was incomplete because the player out of bounds touched it when it wasn't secured.

This right here, VT lost to the worst team in the SEC (arguably, maybe..) and Rutgers. Can't have them beating the only relevant ACC team.With Clemson and FL St down, Miami is the ACC’s golden goose and the top conference brass is going to protect the Canes at all cost.
That shouldn't be a factor in how such a call is made, and I doubt it was.1. I think it was a bad call.
2. I probably would have made the same call if I’m the reply official.
Tough to derail a teams playoff hopes over something controversial. When in doubt, keep the team with high hopes alive.
Honestly, all broadcasts would probably be a lot better if the broadcasters weren’t spending the entire review period giving their two cents and saying to the audience what they (audience) should think the result of the reviews should be.it seems like the on tv rules expert is overruled from what he tells the viewers about 60% of the time
The Miami defender swatting the ball was out of bounds. The reciever had it when his rear hit the ground, then the out of bounds Miami player immediately started jarring at the ball breaking it loose. But is a out of bounds player allowed to jar the ball loose? GBOThat shouldn't be a factor in how such a call is made, and I doubt it was.
I don't think the ball ever hit the ground. So the decision must have come down to the belief that the VT receiver and/or the Miami defender failed to fully gain control of the ball while still in bounds. It's hard to tell what actually happened though.
This. It was very clear... receiver has possession with butt on ground before the DB rips it out. They froze the shot live on first replay and then (conveniently for ACC) never showed it again. Best part was them doing the live look in at the ACC headquarters and the one guy picks up the phone. ClassicThe Miami defender swatting the ball was out of bounds.

That receiver never had clear possession of the ball, at any point.
