Sorry. The following link has the video of the
8-lateral touch-down play,
but you have to wait thru a booze commercial before you can watch it.
It is worth the wait.

ACC suspends officials from Miami-Duke game; TD should not have counted
USA Today - Dan Wolken - Nov 1, 2015
Quote:
The Atlantic Coast Conference acknowledged Sunday that Miami’s kickoff return touchdown
to beat Duke 30-27 should not have counted and that officials made four major errors during the last play.
Though the ACC is not overturning the result of the game, the league has suspended
both the on-field officiating crew and the two replay booth officials for two games.
. . .
The ACC determined that a Miami player’s knee was down before releasing one of the eight laterals
that allowed the play to happen, which was apparent both on video and in still pictures
that were being circulated on social media late Saturday night.
The ACC acknowledged that this call should have been overturned.
“If called, this would have ended the game,” the ACC said.
The ACC also said Miami should have been penalized for a player leaving the bench
and entering the field of play during a return. That penalty wouldn’t have impacted
the touchdown ruling because it should have been a dead ball foul.
The league said the flag for a block in the back that was picked up
— initially negating Miami’s touchdown before officials conferred —
was called correctly but that the referee didn’t properly communicate why the decision was made.
