A request was put in for the ACC to explain the controversial call that resulted in a replayed fourth down following a Pitt run stuff on fourth-and-1 that resulted in a turnover on downs Saturday night.

So, the ACC restated what happened and didn’t answer any questions. And with the answer, it raises the question of why Virginia wasn’t called for an illegal snap infraction.
