I really can’t believe anyone thought that was a catch

My own eyes on the final play in real time knew VT didn’t have possession of that ball. If you thought so, you just wanted Miami to lose. I don’t care about either team at all. They both suck. But he didn’t catch that ball.

Not sure why it needed another thread, but I didn't think he caught it but it was called a catch on the field and I KNOW there wasn't enough video evidence to over turn it and they did it anyway.

Watching this replay, I have to say 2 things

1. It’s one of the funniest football plays I’ve ever seen. I’ve watched the replay about 10 times and am still amused by how much the ball keeps moving around.

2. How can you possibly call this a catch with how much the ball moves around?

Pretty much this.

I think the receiver initially had it when he got his hands on it, but you could see the ball bopping around when they landed. The maroon gloves on the WR made things murkier.

I think the biggest issues people have are that there wasn't anything concrete to overturn the TD call on the field, and the ref basically gave no explanation of what was determined in the replay booth.

I've seen this reasoning that it was a bad call but still shouldn't have been overturned. And I don't really understand it.

That rationale makes less sense than anything. If something is objectively a bad call, it’s supposed to be reversed. It’s only supposed to stand if it looks like a defensible call.

Wouldn't it be a no catch because people who are out of bounds are touching it?

That’s my understanding. Also why I don’t understand the people defending it being a catch.
