No. 9 Miami fought off Virginia Tech's upset bid Friday night with a big assist from a controversial replay review.
The Hokies, who led for a large stretch of the game before yielding the go-ahead touchdown with 1:57 to go, appeared to come up with the game-winning points on a Hail Mary touchdown reeled in by Da'Quan Felton amid a mass of bodies.
At least, that's what the refs ruled on the field at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
The chaotic final play went to replay review. After significant deliberation, the ruling of a touchdown on the field was overturned.
The refs did not offer up much regarding what they saw that caused them to change the initial ruling.
The game was declared over with Miami a 38-34 winner. The Hurricanes improved to 5-0 while the Hokies slipped to 2-3.
"That's a tough one right there. ... I hope they got that call right," Virginia Tech coach Brent Pry said, per Tech Sideline's Andy Bitter. "To take it from our kids, our coaches, our fans, I hope they got it right."
