Yeah I couldn’t tell anything from the angles they showed on TV. Unless they had some new enhanced shots in the booth they shouldn’t have overturned.

Or if your going to go for it give me my offense out there with your best 4th down play.
Time management by VT on that last drive was atrocious.
All that being said VT got screwed big time.

I remember an OSU running back getting stopped on the goal line in Stillwater that was overturned to a TD (or maybe it was called a TD on the field but not reversed even though the replay clearly showed he didn’t break the plane). That was in the early days of replay when officials really didn’t know what they were doing.
Not to even bring up Jeremiah George and the phantom “forward progress.”
Neither of those ended the game, of course.
What’s funny is we all see things differently. I honestly thought on the main angle looking straight at the end zone from the field he clearly catches the ball and lands with it secured as the Miami player gets his hand on it and then after he hits the ground the Miami player jostles it loose.
No way in hell that was indisputable, and I actually think the initial call was correct.

it really only matters if Miami doesn’t win ACC yet also finishes ranked 10-13ish in rankings.
Of course winning on these reviews could put them at 10-13ish instead of say 17th.

There would be an uproar here if ISU was in either position (Miami or VT). That was a no-win call for the officials.

I’ve said for a long time, they should put a time limit on video reviews, I mean something short, under 30 seconds.
If you can’t see evidence of the call being wrong almost instantly, it’s not “irrefutable“ and the call should stand.
Yeah, what i think he's saying is that would explain that long of a delay in making the decision if it were irrefutable. It might take 2 minutes to figure out the call and then more to figure out the time\placement after that.
When that isn't part of the consideration at all, there's no excuse for the review to take that long and still be called irrefutable.
That one was in 2014.
ISU was on the bad side of several reviews in the early days (2005-06).

I saw mostly what you saw, except there never was a view of the ball showing he clearly had it secured on the ground before it got knocked out.
But there also wasn’t a clear view showing he didn’t have it secured; and that’s what was required to overturn the call on the field.

If you’re talking about Okie State, I’m certain the one I’m talking about was way before 2014 (although I can’t pin it down precisely). I remember being aghast at the replay call, because it was clearly obvious that it was wrong.
Was it Jarvis West that caught a ball got tackled and Kansas or K State stripped the ball? Details are fuzzy, but it was a bad review.
