ACC officials announced that this snazzy fake field goal and a similar play made by Clemson in the Clemson/GT Game should have been flagged and nullifed due to violation of a rule forbidding plays with “simulated replacement” during substitution.
ACC Officials Remind You To Mind The Trickeration

↵The good Dr. wonders whether this rule isn’t more for the referees than the actual teams on the field, but the impressive thing about a conference suggesting that ten whole points should have been removed from the collective score is that ACC officials not only let this slide once, but twice within the span of a game.
↵Then again, if you are familiar with ACC officiating, this should not surprise, since the conference has a standard of gamecalling that is both glacially slow and inept. Add the ACC’s Ron Cherry to a game, for instance, and he becomes the Immodium of field officials obstructing flow completely and adding a guaranteed 15-20 minutes of dead air to any broadcast. I’m shocked ESPN doesn’t have him traveling cross-country to call more games, since he could die a millionaire based on a cut of the additional revenue his pokiness generates for ESPN alone.
