ACC stands by controversial call that negated Ryan Switzer punt return

Posted Oct 20, 2015
Ultimately the play didn’t affect the outcome of UNC’s 50-14 win against Wake Forest Saturday but the question has persisted: Why was Ryan Switzer’s 70-yard punt return called back in the third quarter? The ACC stood by the call Monday, saying the decision to blow the play dead came because Switzer gave an “invalid signal” before his return – not because the official thought Switzer had given a fair catch signal.
