It was mayhem as numerous Virginia Tech and Miami players collided, each reaching for the descending ball.<\/p>\n<p>Miraculously, Virginia Tech wide receiver <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/daquan-felton-174808\/\">Da\u2019Quan Felton<\/a><\/strong> came down with the Hail Mary. However, after nearly 10 minutes of deliberation, the referees ruled a Miami player making contact with the ball was out of bounds, causing the catch to be incomplete.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other reactions to the head-turning final play<\/h2>\n<p>Virginia Tech fans weren\u2019t the only ones who didn\u2019t agree with the referees\u2019 decision.
