College fans couldn’t understand how refs missed Miami’s obvious safety against Florida State

Some college football plays shouldn’t be too difficult to get right on review.

We’re not talking about the ones where a catch is maybe an incompletion or a targeting call that’s just too close to tell. We’re talking about very simple, discernible facts like where someone’s knee touches the ground and where the ball is when it happens.

Technology like pylon cams is supposed to make this easier than ever.

Yet the ACC referees in Saturday’s rivalry game between Miami (FL) and No. 4 Florida State proved even these advancements aren’t enough to make correct calls. In this case it was Miami sacking Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis inside his own endzone. This was an obvious safety that, even upon review, was somehow not award to the Hurricanes.

Take a look for yourself:

Travis was behind the goal line with the ball. It was extremely evident to anyone who watched. Somehow it still wasn’t a safety.

College fans couldn’t believe it.
