Defense needs to hold for just over 3 minutes.

NOPE!

But who gives a shit when you have SM!

Won't put the guy on blast by name, but let's just say it was a comedy of crazy stuff. Cheering in the press box, interrupting Clawson and others with questions. Bizarre for what is usually such a buttoned up environment.

Please tell me they post on these here boards…

I was at the game, sitting across the field from where this play happened. I was shocked when they ruled him short. And more shocked when they didn't review it.
Thanks for posting this and confirming it was the right call.
Talk about poetic justice.

Great win, great effort, and great results by the third-string QB, Claiborne, and the entire defense. But, the most amazing thing that happened, that I have not seen mentioned, was that Coach Clawson and Coach R actually called and ran a REVERSE. I repeat, the current Wake coaching staff ran a REVERSE and handed the ball to an end. Jim Grobe probably had a heart attack if he was watching when this play was called. This was a game that will go down in history for many reasons!

Cam Hite (I think it was him) had a great block to seal the edge on this. Add in his play to break up an interception early and the TD catch and dude deserves a game ball of his own.

I love how two other players are celebrating the first down

Wasn’t that close really.

Wasn’t that close really.

They probably didn’t know the updated rule that their school was responsible for. Or in real time it just looked like he had it. Or they were trying to coax the refs. Any way you look at it, they celebrated early.

Sort of like their teammate #3.

Should show that picture to everybody on the ACCN postgame show last night who said it was the worst call they’d ever seen in a football game

Agreed, where did this pic/angle come from? Would have been nice to show it.

However, I’m not banking on those guys knowing the nuances of rules.

They talked about the play for a solid three minutes before someone pointed out that he is down where he STARTS the slide. There was a lot of “ohhhhh”

Basic knowledge any fan should have.

Accn announcers barely adequate….

 

[ChrisL68]

I love how Pitt fans on twitter keep showing this when it absolutely bolsters the arguement that the correct call was made.

 

[ironwill24]

The great thing is all he had to do was run out of bounds and get the easy first down and game is over. Love that he felt he had to be a Kenny Pickett

 

[ChrisL68]

I have also seen the picture from the FSU/Duke game and the Washington game where the officials clearly made a bad call.

 

[PhDeac]

Pitt fans are not very bright.

(Except Kory)

Yep.

One knuckle head pointed out that his knee was down a full yard after the down marker. So what??

Geez. Know the Pickett rule!

 

[deac03]

So we need to beat state and cuse to keep the streak
