ESPN criticized for crooked first-down line at end of Miami-FSU game
Miami pulled out a come-from-behind, 24-20 win over Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee Saturday. It was a hard-fought ACC matchup, but the Hurricanes (4-0) were able to stay unbeaten, and will likely move up from No. 13 in the AP top 25 this week.
In the final minutes of the matchup, as Miami mounted its final drive, the Hurricanes picked up a pivotal third-and-10. ESPN’s production received criticism, however, because its yellow first-down line moved and was crooked on the play.
