A catch? Not a catch? The Miami-Virginia Tech ending won't be forgotten by either side
There might be a FaceTime call on Sunday, as there is just about every week, in which Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones connect to talk about their most recent games
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — There might be a FaceTime call on Sunday, as there is just about every week, in which Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones connect to talk about their most recent games.
To say the two are close is an understatement. They're cousins. They're offseason training partners. They share a quarterback coach. They speak with the highest reverence for the other as both a person and as a player.
But this week's call ... well, it might be a little weird.
Ward and the No. 7 Hurricanes (5-0, 1-0) held off Drones and the Hokies 38-34 on Friday night, a game that lasted for 60 minutes on the field and for 6 1/2 more minutes afterward as officials tried to figure out who actually won. Drones connected with Da'Quan Felton on a 30-yard desperation heave to — he thought — give Virginia Tech (2-3, 0-1) the win on the final play, only to see it wiped out after a long review by Atlantic Coast Conference officials.
