Oklahoma State linebacker Chad Whitener sits in the end zone while Central Michigan celebrates a last-second touchdown. 22 Oklahoma State on Saturday, an amazing Hail Mary with a lateral, was arguably the biggest highlight of college football’s first two weeks. Unfortunately, it should never have happened, and the officiating crew for the game is being punished for its gaffe. The eight-man crew has been suspended for two weeks, the Mid-American Conference announced Sunday. Oklahoma State was flagged for intentional grounding, but as that penalty comes with a loss of down, the contest should have ended at that point.
