Once again, college football fans got a treat on Friday night. This time, it was an ACC showdown between Virginia Tech and Miami (FL) at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.
It was a back-and-forth game, which included Virginia Tech leading 24-17 at halftime before Miami scored 21 second-half points, including two touchdowns in the final nine minutes of play.
Cam Ward connected on a go-ahead touchdown to Isaiah Horton with two minutes left to give Miami a 38-34 lead.
Then, on the final play, one of the wildest finishes we have ever seen ensued. Kyron Drones heaved a hail mary that appeared to be caught by Da’Quan Felton.
However, it was reviewed and eventually ruled incomplete, giving Miami the victory.
On the other hand, Kirk Herbstreit was one of many left stunned by the result.
Herbstreit is one of many to react to the wild finish, including Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes. At first glance, it seemed that Virginia Tech was going to walk it off with a miracle touchdown.
As Herbstreit said, if Felton caught it, it would’ve been one of the wildest finishes in a long time and would’ve given the Hokies a huge top-25 upset win on the road.
