Mike Norvell blasts officials over controversial holding call vs Miami
The FSU Seminoles were called for a controversial holding call against Miami in overtime. Mike Norvell made it clear he did not agree with the call.
FSU Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell expressed his frustration with the ACC officials following a controversial holding call during their 43-35 loss to the Miami Hurricanes in double overtime. The Seminoles found themselves in a 4th and 21 situation, with quarterback Ashton Daniels successfully connecting with Micahi Danzy for a touchdown, setting up a two-point attempt to tie the game.
However, the call for holding, which wiped away the play, changed the game to 4th and 31. Norvell criticized the decision, stating, "It was absolutely a joke". He had previously contacted Gary Patterson, head of officials, to inquire about their final review, but had not yet received a response. Norvell was disappointed that the Seminoles were not given the opportunity to settle the game on the field.
He also commented on the Hail Mary pass to Duce Robinson, which was ruled an interception, which ended the game. Norvell questioned why simultaneous possession was not considered during the replay review.
