Florida State head coach Mike Norvell blasted a holding penalty that wiped out a Hail Mary touchdown in the second overtime against Miami as “an absolute joke” during Monday’s post‑game press conference.
The controversial call came late in the second overtime period, when the Seminoles appeared to have secured a victory with a last‑second touchdown that was nullified by a holding penalty on the defense.
“That penalty was an absolute joke,” Norvell said, expressing frustration over the decision that overturned the play.
Norvell’s comments came as the teams finished a tightly contested game that extended into a second overtime, a rare and dramatic finish in college football.
The Seminoles’ coaching staff and players will now focus on the aftermath of the penalty and the implications for the remainder of the season.
