Gundy is gonna blow a gasket. Referees mistakenly let Central Michigan run another play after the game should've ended and CMU gets the touchdown and the win.

From Rule 3, Section 2.

Extension of PeriodsARTICLE 3. a. A period shall be extended for an untimed down if one ormore of the following occurs during a down in which time expires (A.R.3-2-3-I-VIII):1. A penalty is accepted for a live-ball foul(s) (Exception: Rule10-2-5-a). The period is not extended if the foul is by the team inpossession and the statement of the penalty includes loss of down(A.R. 3-2-3-VIII).2. There are offsetting fouls.3. An official sounds his whistle inadvertently or otherwise incorrectlysignals the ball dead.b. Additional untimed downs will be played until a down is free of thecircumstances in statements 1, 2 and 3 of Rule 3-2-3-a (above).c. If a touchdown is scored during a down in which time expires, theperiod is extended for the try (Exception: Rule 8-3-2-a).

So the foul was by the team in possession and the statement of the penalty did include loss of down. Therefore, the game should have ended.

OSU was trying to run out the last 4 seconds on

Yea I saw someone on Twitter mention this. What happened?

4th down so the QB just threw the ball oob. But with no receivers in the area they called him for grounding. But since OSU had the ball and the flag was loss of down game should've ended. Instead CM was given one play.

Sad that all OSU had to do was heave it deep near any player and would have never drawn a penalty. That was some next level bad luck to end that game.

All officials saying that the hail mary should not have been allowed. If ever there was a case to take points off the board this is it.

Seems like a spirit of the law call.

Per rule, game should have ended, but awarding a team, who commits a penalty

doesn't line up with "good sportsmanship" and "integrity of the game".

I'd like to see this part of the rule changed.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Agreed. Perhaps they should've just pooch punted.

Wow I'd be beyond pissed if that was us

Bad call per rules. If our HC made that call bc of the understanding of the rules and we got boned by it, I don't know how pissed I'd be. If it's gray area, then run backwards for 4 seconds and fall down. Should never have happened regardless of whose 17 up if was. Sucks for you Cowboys
