Regarding CC’s court analogy, I’d say it’s more like the review folks used the civil court standard of a preponderance of the evidence (which is more likely than not that something occurred or didn’t occur, 51% likelihood or better wins) versus the criminal standard which is beyond a reasonable doubt. There was a reasonable doubt about what happened regardless which way was ruled on the field. Many folks saying it was the right call to overturn the call on the field seem to be using the preponderance of the evidence standard.
CC seems to hold the microphone holder like a he’s holding a life preserver 🙂
Best TSL review of a game ever. Hokies got hosed. The ACC giveth and the ACC taketh away.
Two comments-one the Charlotte review group should have to show what part of the replay supported their decision and two the review officials apparently don’t confer with the on field officials who made the original call to see what they saw.
