Miami-Virginia Tech game had the most insane finish
Friday’s college football clash between Miami and Virginia Tech couldn’t have ended in a more dramatic fashion.
Miami led Virginia Tech 38-34 with just seconds left in the contest at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
The Hokies were on the Hurricanes’ 30-yard line with one final crack at stealing a road win. As the clock hit zero, Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones aired a pass into a mixed crowd of teammates and defenders waiting in the end zone.
Virginia Tech wide receiver Da’Quan Felton leaped in the middle of a sea of hands to make a play for the ball. Despite the congestion on the play, officials initially signaled that Felton secured the football for a touchdown.
DID VIRGINIA TECH JUST STEAL THIS GAME FROM MIAMI (FL) ???

The Hurricanes will head to the West Coast next week to put their 5-0 record on the line against ACC newcomer, Cal.
