ACC privately admits Miami, not just Duke, victim of bad calls

Last weekend’s Duke-Miami game ended on one of the most incredible plays you will ever see at any level of football, as the Hurricanes won the game on a kick return touchdown that included eight laterals. However, it quickly became clear that the play should never have counted.

Or, if you want to look at it from Miami’s viewpoint, perhaps the officiating crew owed the Hurricanes a break. As Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald notes, Miami athletic director Blake James wrote a letter to season ticket holders this week explaining that the ACC admitted the Hurricanes were also victimized by bad calls.
