After a thrilling upset victory against No. 22 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Mid-American official Tim O'Dey said the final play should never have happened.
In an interview with The Oklahoman, O'Dey explained why extending the game was an incorrect call.
"There's a rule that says the game cannot end on an accepted live ball foul," O'Dey said. "That's the rule."
There is an exception to this rule that says enforcing the foul creates a loss of down, bringing the game to its conclusion.
"So in that situation, we've had the opportunity to run it back through our hierarchy, which includes the national rules editor, and he confirmed that should have been a loss of down and the end of the game at that point, so that extension should not have happened.
