Mario Cristobal says Miami got no explanation for touchdown ruling
CFB ON FOX's postgame clip draws an unusually large audience as viewers focus on what counts as a completed catch.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 266,961 views a day, 18 times a normal first day on this channel (14,407).
Cristobal had plenty to say about the call that wiped away a possible game-tying Miami TD
Two hands on the ball, two feet in bounds. Those are the details Mario Cristobal emphasizes as he questions the ruling on Elija Lofton's possible game-tying touchdown against Notre Dame.
Asked whether the officiating crew offered an explanation, Miami's coach answers: "Zero. Zero. Explanation: zero."
The press conference excerpt on CFB ON FOX has drawn more than a quarter of a million views before its first full day is over. A typical Short on the channel draws about 14,000 views on its first day.
Cristobal congratulates Notre Dame on the win, but says he had warned his players before leaving Miami not to put the game in the officials' hands. A reporter also raises a separate end-zone no-call involving Daylyn Upshaw.
Beneath the clip, viewers concentrate on the distinction between getting feet down and completing a catch. Several discuss maintaining control of the ball; another points out that the pass was ruled incomplete, rather than a touchdown being taken away. Those comments challenge Cristobal's description, without settling the ruling themselves.
His closing message turns back toward his own team: "Play better, coach better, find a way to win."
Postgame reactions are drawing attention elsewhere on CFB ON FOX, too. Kyle Whittingham's assessment of Michigan's offense after losing to Michigan State is also running well above the channel's usual Short audience, alongside footage of the Spartans celebrating with the Paul Bunyan Trophy.
