Oklahoma offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle didn't cheat, he just outsmarted.
College football fans and even the ABC broadcast crew accused the No. 11 Sooners of cheating to score their first touchdown in their 24-17 win over the No. 22 Auburn Tigers on Saturday in Norman. After streaking up the sideline, OU wide receiver Isaiah Sategna was wide open for the 24-yard pass from John Mateer in the second quarter to put the Sooners up 10-3.
Isaiah Sategna's TD wasn't against any rules like college football fans proclaimed
After the play, ESPN's rules analyst Matt Austin said it was illegal for a player to pretend to leave the field for a substitution, so the Sooners should have gotten a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty instead of points on the board.
