Admitting what was clear to most everyone last night, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Saturday that referees should have reviewed the clock and added one second after Michael Carter stepped out of bounds on the last play of the game. The ball should have been spotted at the Wake Forest 43 yard line with at least a chance for UNC to get off a final play.
The most frustrating part of the play wasn’t necessarily that the referees didn’t immediately know there was a second left on the clock when Carter’s foot stepped out of bounds, but that they all immediately ran off the field without even bothering to review the clock.
