Miami quarterback Cam Ward turned his on-field celebration gesture into an emoji celebration following Friday's dramatic 38-34 win over Virginia Tech.
In a post on X after the game, Ward used a hand covering the mouth and the palm down emojis in reference to his celebration usually reserved for throwing a touchdown pass.
The seventh-ranked Hurricanes survived a tough test from Virginia Tech on a controversial finish when the officials ruled the Hokies' Hail Mary pass incomplete on review after it was originally ruled a touchdown.
The ACC said in a statement the call was overturned because review determined a Miami player was out of bounds and touched the loose ball, making it an incomplete pass and ending the play immediately.
