TWTW: Toledo Asks Syracuse Win Vacated

((HT: WTVG-TV Toledo))

Okay, we all know that Toledo got massively screwed in their loss to Syracuse on Saturday... it should have been a 30-29 win for the visitors, but it was a video instant replay boof that took the win away from them...

As a result of the protest and the protestations...

BIG EAST Conference coordinator of football officiating Terry McAulay has issued the following statement...

"After studying the videos of the Syracuse extra point attempt at 2:07 of the fourth quarter, we have concluded that the ruling on the field that the kick passed between the uprights was incorrect, and that the replay official made an error in failing to reverse that ruling. In reviewing the video, we have determined that the angle from behind the kicking team shows conclusively that the ball passes outside the right upright.

Our review of the process determined that the replay official mistakenly focused his attention on the sideline angle, which proved to be distorted. We are confident that our officiating staff will learn from this situation in order to prevent a reoccurrence."


Here's the latest from the other U-T...



There's no way this gets overturned and we appreciate the Rockets bravado...
