ACC Suspends Referees, Replay Officials After Miami vs. Duke
The ACC announced it has suspended the referees and replay officials involved in Miami's 30-27 win over Duke Saturday. In the press release, the conference cited a "series of errors during the final play of the game" for the decision.
The Hurricanes won after a kickoff return touchdown that channeled "The Play" in Stanford and Cal's 1982 clash:
As dramatic as the TD was, Miami committed multiple infractions on the play, none of which were ultimately penalized. The missed flags included a block in the back at the Hurricanes' 16-yard line and a dead-ball penalty for a player leaving the sideline before the play was over, which wouldn't have canceled out the touchdown anyway.
