Wow. I have been here at Fox looking at the Duke game and Duke got tricked on Hollween. No way that is a touchdown. I will explain.

Not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 blown, game ending calls in the #Duke game @theACC announces. "Great play" no longer. "Worst call ever" forever.

Good for the ACC for admitting their errors on the last play of the #DukevsMiami game.
