1) PCF on VT player at about 9:20 first half

2) About 3 min later in a very similar play on other end, block on VT

Now, obviously this had nothing to do with the games outcome (Duke would have been better off staying in Durham and having an intersquad scrimmage), and I may very well be wrong on these, but with only one replay via tv after each play, it sure looked bad. I have not looked back at it this morning, and cannot post a video, but perhaps if JMF is finding the possible foot violation, he can get these "kicks" too

So are you saying that Duke over time has benefited from some active conspiracy to give them favorable calls? That's ridiculous and ludicrous on its face. I think it's just people don't like Duke and remember the calls that go for them - justified or not - and conveniently don't remember or even acknowledge the calls that go against them.
