The calling of an illegal snap ranks right up there with other officiating errors, not of judgment, but of rules.
Awarding Western Michigan another play at the end of the game against Oklahoma State in 2016, not recognizing that a game can end on a penalty if it includes a loss of down.
Awarding Oregon possession of an onside kick against OU, when an OU player was running around the field with the recovered ball in 2006.
Giving Colorado a fifth down, on which they scored the game winning TD. Without that extra play, the Buffs lose the game and don’t win the national championship in 1990.
So, what happened to the (ir)responsible officials in those games?
