Watch: FSU loses touchdown on illegal forward pass

Florida State logo

Florida State lost a touchdown on a trick play against Miami on Saturday because of an illegal forward pass.

The Seminoles had a 2nd-and-7 from the Miami 39 in the fourth quarter and attempted a trick play. Deondre Francois passed to DJ Matthews, who then threw to a wide open Keith Gavin for a touchdown. A flag was thrown on the play immediately to wipe out the touchdown.

Replay appeared to show that Francois’ pass to Matthews was forward:

Another angle shows how close it was:

It was a great play that had Miami fooled, but perhaps that’s because the Canes recognized it was a forward pass. The Noles need to work on their execution.
