ACC Football: Week 14 (11/29-11/30)

[Bluedog]

I'm kinda surprised at how rare a run call is when need 3 yards. In the 6 overtimes (starting at 3ot), I think there were only 3 runs and one was starting at the 1 after a PI. A run ended up winning it. Only one other successful 2 pt attempt (passes by both teams). it's dramatic but oddly at some point, feels anticlimactic as just switching off single plays.

Bummer

Seems like a couple of objectively wrong, pivotal calls saved the $EC.

Thanks for posting- it felt that way but of course the announcers were all on board with Georgia winning and never mentioned any of them

If by “objectively wrong”, you mean “complained about on social media”, then sure. That article has nothing but quotes from fans online.

When a pass is tipped, there should be no interference.

As for the other play, do you not see the defensive player leading with his helmet into the helmet of the QB? That’s the definition of targeting.

OK, here is another article, this time with lots of quotes from experts. Feel free to try to defend the calls if you'd like to; I think it's quite an uphill climb.

Can the ACC package Clemson and FSU for some football schools?

I don't know who Josh Mancuso is, but he posted a video about an ACC Thanksgiving...

(also here if you prefer Instagram)

Clemson: "Miami, could you pass the turkey?"
Miami: "Oh, you want me to transfer something to you?"
Clemson: "You know what? Never mind. I'll raise my own turkey. Keep it for 4 years. It'll graduate."

Wow... I really apologize. I just turned to the unc/State game, at the 2-min timeout, and unc scores and takes a 1 point lead.

 

[CameronBlue]

Good Lord what a catch that is incredible

 

[AGDukesky]

Miami in trouble

Wait, did State just have a 98-yard rushing TD or is the box score screwed up?

NC State is making a living punking UNC at the end of games.

Game over cheaters lose after giving up a 98 yard rushing TD with 30s left.

 

[AustinDevil]

SMU 38, California 6 in Dallas.

 

[Bob Green]

ACC is back to having one team in the CFP. Miami loses to Syracuse so once Clemson beats SMU in the ACC Championship Game, both SMU and Miami will be on the outside looking in.

per ESPN gamecast...

TD

Haha... I saw it on the internet. 98 vs 2 yards.. Who cares as long as the cheats lose?

9f for life.

Interesting... just now noted that 100 minus 98 is 2 yards.

Yes, it's pretty clear someone input the play as at the Cheats 2 instead of State's 2, this the difference.
