ACC suspends officials for 2 games after Miami-Duke ending

CORAL GABLES, FL -- The Atlantic Coast Conference has suspended the officiating crew that worked the Miami-Duke game for two league games for "a series of errors" on the final play.

The league announced the decision Sunday, about 13 hours after the Hurricanes threw a combined eight laterals before Corn Elder took the last one for the game-ending touchdown that beat Duke 30-27.

In a statement announcing the suspension of the on-field crew, the replay official and the communicator, Commissioner John Swofford said that final play "was not handled appropriately."

The league says the replay official was wrong in not declaring Miami's Mark Walton down before he flipped the ball, and the on-field crew should have flagged the Hurricanes for an illegal block in the back
