First I have to say that the officiating for the game was about as good as one would expect for a unc game. I just wanted to make the point that there were at least 4-5 times that a call that was originally in unc’s favor was overturned on the replay. For instance 1. The long pass where we were called for pass interference was originally called a catch. We did interfere, but the receiver obviously fell on the out of bounds line. 2. Another play was ruled a catch when the receiver was dribbling the ball like a basketball. 3. The pass thrown by Finley was ruled a lateral when it was obviously a forward pass. 4. The play with 8 seconds to go was ruled a td, but the ball hit the ground. There were others. Only one of these , numbER 4, was even close enough for a replay. Yet in every case it was ruled on the field for unc. Understand that the ruling on the field carries a lot of weight and it is obvious, at least to me, that these officials had a bias towards unc in real time Mode.
