The second down play should have resulted in a team unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of 15 yards assessed from the previous spot.
The game entered the second quarter with both teams tied at three. After Auburn turned the ball over on downs, the Sooners were forced backwards by a holding call and then a two-yard loss by Tory Blaylock.
With 10:49 left int he first half, it appeared as if wide receiver Isaiah Sategna was headed to the sideline in an apparent substitution. With the Tigers focused on the remaining Oklahoma offense, Satenga stopped just short of the sideline long enough for quarterback John Mateer to snap the ball and find the wide receiver uncovered at the one-yard line for the 24-yard go-ahead touchdown. “A pass was thrown to Oklahoma #5 resulting in a touchdown,” the statement began. “Oklahoma #5 participated in the previous play, which was a first down play from the 22-yard line. After the first down play was completed, Oklahoma #5 continued towards his team’s sideline, but stopped just before reaching the Oklahoma sideline.”“No simulated replacements or substitutions may be used to confuse opponents. No tactic associated with substitutes or the substitution process may be used to confuse opponents. This includes any hideout tactic with or without a substitution.” The conference says that the officiating crew in Norman did not properly interpret the action as a hideout tactic. “If properly officiated, the second down play should have resulted in a team unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of 15 yards assessed from the previous spot.” While it’s unknown exactly how the SEC with address the blown call, the league said “appropriate accountability will be applied” and that no additional comment with be made about the play.2nd suspect in Pensacola Charlie Kirk vigil disturbance surrendersSprout Organics recalls some baby food for potential elevated levels of lead
