It was one of the wildest finishes you will ever see. Using lateral after lateral, Miami managed a 97-yard kickoff return as time expired to beat Duke.
But a cloud has fallen over the amazing victory, after the Atlantic Coast Conference on Sunday suspended the entire officiating crew for two games for numerous errors on the final play.
Miami trailed No. 22 Duke, 27-24, on Saturday with six seconds left and was receiving a kickoff. Things looked grim. ESPN reported that the Hurricanes’ chance to win the game was less that 1 percent.
Miami retrieved the squibbed kickoff, and its players immediately began lateraling the ball, looking for openings to run and passing the ball off when the openings were not there.
