Interesting Youtube Video FSU Game

Hurricanes Football

Lots of ground level camera work.

And happily, not much of the 4th quarter slop.

Miami stupidly got way too conservative in the 4th quarter and almost blew the game.

FSU took away the run, stacked the box and Miami didn’t really make the obvious counters.

Throwing on first down, draws, screens, tight end roll offs etc.

And playing prevent defense, Donofrio ball. Also stupid and let FSU back into the game.

Given 28-3, it should have been a blow out. 40-10 or worse.

Playing not to lose is always a mistake.

To be fair, FSU was allowed to get away with a ton of holding calls. Holding in the end zone should be a safety, and they got away with it.

And the non-call on the intentional grounding … is there an explanation for that?

The refs almost always screw Miami, can’t leave the game up to the refs.

The last time I remember Miami getting the benefit of a significant call was the Duke Halloween lateral game kickoff return game in 2015.

Which is the reason the *Eyes have one of our National Titles. We should have 6.

No, we should have seven. 1988 was a hosing as well.

Never forget!

The PI call against OSU was outrageous.

The official right on top of the play didn’t call the penalty. He ruled the pass incomplete and the play dead.

The penalty was called by a ref 20 yards away (Terry Porter). And he waited at least 5 seconds after the play was dead to throw the flag. That ref had no business overruling the ref closest to the play. He simply wouldn’t allow Miami to win the NC. One of the most bizarre calls in college football history.

The replay shows that Glenn Sharpe did not make contact with the OSU receiver until after the receiver touched the ball. Clear as day.

It is amusing that OSU fans now often argue that the interference occurred before they entered the end zone because they know the call for contact in the end zone is bullshit.

And yes, the Cleveland Gary non-fumble against ND (the ground can’t cause a fumble) likely cost Miami another NC.

When devout Christian, mild mannered Mark Richt is ready to punch your lights out, you might not be officiating too well.

Controversial penalties and non-calls are still not reviewable but they should be. Refs screw up a lot and too often bad officiating changes the outcome of games.
