Virginia Tech’s 35-33 Loss to Pitt Hinges on Unreviewable Field Goal Controversy
Virginia Tech lost 35-33 to Pittsburgh on Oct. 2 after officials ruled a potential game-winning field goal by kicker John Love as no good. The decision sparked debate because multiple video angles conflicted, and NCAA rules prohibited instant replay review since the ball was above the uprights. Head coach James Franklin expressed uncertainty about the call but defended Love, while the loss dropped Virginia Tech to 4-1 and kept Pitt unbeaten at 5-0.
