There was no camera on the other side. That was preposterous and inexcusable. No way to overturn without that view. It worked against us on the Duke play but may have saved us on the kickoff return. If they have an angle from the other side it could have revealed that Walton's knee was down.
In both cases there was a ref only feet away with an unobstructed view down the line. I'm sure that contributed to neither call being overturned.
ESPN is using an angle we were never shown on TV, the one from high on the right end zone, to declare that Walton's knee was down. ***** them. All game long the standard had been not to overturn borderline calls or non calls. Miami benefited from that on the McCaffrey play early in the game, when it appeared he was down before fumbling.
I appreciate the same standard used throughout. I had confidence during the lengthy replay review of the final play only because that had been the practice throughout the game. ESPN conveniently ignores that. The infamous pass interference call versus Ohio State was disgusting because it defied how the game had been called all night. They let them play in the secondary from early first quarter until 5 seconds after that play ended.
I haven't sampled the threads. One play really annoyed me: We snapped the ball with 17 seconds remaining on our successful field goal that boosted the lead to 24-12. I jumped off the coach. You can't be that dense. There were slightly less than 6 minutes remaining. At that point you have to fight to get every available second off the clock, when you are in control of it. For the remainder of the game, and particularly on Duke's final drive, I worried those seconds would come back to bite us. It was like handing Duke a half timeout. The way it worked out, of course, it's hard to tell how it impacted the game. Duke would have needed to rush the final drive more than they did.
