ACC Says Officiating Mistake Cost UNC Hail Mary Chance in Loss to Wake Forest

Atlantic Coast Conference supervisor of football officials Dennis Hennigan said Saturday that North Carolina should have been awarded one second of additional time at the end of the fourth quarter in the Tar Heels' 24-18 loss to Wake Forest on Friday night.

Hennigan explained the ACC game's replay official should have reviewed the final play, a 13-yard run by UNC running back Michael Carter, and put one second on the clock because he stepped out of bounds before time expired, per Aaron Beard of the Associated Press.

"All disciplinary measures related to the replay officials are being handled internally and the ACC considers this matter closed," Hennigan said.
