James Franklin Drops Surprising Take on Virginia Tech’s Controversial Missed Field Goal

Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin addressed the media regarding the dramatic conclusion to his squad's recent matchup against Pitt. In the closing seconds, kicker John Love attempted a 36-yard field goal that would have secured a win, but officials ruled the kick no good, sealing a 35-33 defeat at Lane Stadium.

Replays sparked widespread debate among supporters over whether the ball cleared the uprights successfully. Despite the controversy and his team suffering its first loss of the season, Franklin stated that his viewing angle did not provide a clear look at the play.

Instead of criticizing the officiating crew, the coach expressed unwavering confidence in his kicker and accepted the final decision without complaint.
