Virginia Tech player blows off ACC after reverse Hail Mary walk-off: ‘I want to see the consequences’

Virginia Tech had done it. They had pulled off a major upset over the No. 7 ranked Miami Hurricanes in a walk-off Hail Mary on the road – or so they thought.

With three seconds left, trailing 38-34, Hokies quarterback Kyron Drones threw a prayer into the back of the end zone toward a swath of both Hokies receivers and Hurricanes defenders.

It was initially unclear who came down with the ball as both teams stood up thinking they had won the match. Ultimately, the officials indicated it was a touchdown catch by Da’Quan Felton, giving the Hokies a 40-38 victory as time expired.

However, after a lengthy review, the call on the field was overturned. The pass was declared incomplete and the Hurricanes escaped with a 38-34 victory.

Hokie wide receiver Stephen Gosnell expressed his frustrations with the overturned call on X after the loss.

“(The) Acc knows what they did. I want to see the consequences,” Gosnell wrote.

The ACC released a statement after the game regarding the replay review process for overturning the touchdown call.

Gosnell was in the end zone, fighting for the ball on what would have been the game-winning touchdown if the call had been on the field.
