The Big 12 Conference released a statement Sunday afternoon that acknowledged its field officials and chain crew incorrectly gave Oklahoma State a first down in its 36-34 victory against Kansas State on Saturday.
Late in the second quarter, OSU faced first-and-10 from the Kansas State 45-yard line and Cowboy left tackle Victor Salako was called for a 10-yard holding penalty. Three plays later, facing third-and-23, OSU needed to reach the KSU 35-yard line for a first down.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph connected on a 19-yard pass to receiver Marcell Ateman, coming up 4-yards short of the first down.
