I watched their podcast on YouTube prior to the game - and I've just watched them crying about the replay for 10 minutes in my lunch break now.

The one in the maroon VT top is an insufferable ****.

clearly you havent turned the page if you are still talking about it.

If you watched the video you saw they got it right.

period. Its honestly that simple.

what they got wrong was calling it a TD when its clear no one was sure initially.

The astounding logic throughout social media:

"It wasn't a catch clearly, and should have been called an incomplete pass to begin with, BUT, since they did call it a TD, I just don't see why they overturned the call..."

Muppets, muppets everywhere.

Wait.. Has nobody seen this video clearly showing there was no catch?

If you look at this frame by frame (which I'm certain the replay booth was doing), it's clear that the ball was never secured by anyone prior to contacting the ground AND even if we assumed the ball was secured, it's clear that control was not maintained through contact with the ground, which is a requirement for a completed pass.

At best, the VT player had the ball trapped between his forearms as he was hitting the ground. That's clear because Horton is actually holding the VT player's right hand with his right hand (meaning the VT player's right hand could not have been securing the ball. You can also clearly see that the VT player's left hand was not on the ball as his glove (with the Nike logo on the back of it) is beyond the tip of the ball with the back of his hand (not his palm) facing the ball. You can then clearly see that the ball immediately starts moving as soon as the pile hits the ground and that it was not a result of Horton jarring it loose as Horton's right hand is still holding the right hand of the VT player and his left hand is away from the ball.

I guarantee the replay booth zoomed in on this and looked at it frame by frame and concluded the same thing I've done here. That's likely why it took 5+ minutes to look at this. It's clear as day though. Absolutely indisputable evidence that it was an incomplete pass.

Somebody who cares more than me and is more technologically savvy should do a frame by frame post of this on social media or a frame by frame video analysis on YouTube then post it to the Twitters tagging all the most prominent Hokie media handles as well as any national media pundit that said the Hokies got jobbed.

We won, **** 'em. If they want to prove he had control, let them do it frame by frame.

Not worth wasting our energy on.

1000% percent, thank you for articulating what we've all seen...he never had the ball.
