Oklahoma seemed to get away with some illegal trickery in their win over Auburn on Saturday.
Early in the second quarter, Sooners receiver Isaiah Sategna acted like he was walking off the field and to the sideline. Before he left the field, Oklahoma quickly snapped the ball and quarterback John Mateer delivered a 24-yard touchdown pass to Sategna, who was left uncovered by the Tigers. As officiating analyst Matt Austin pointed out, teams are not allowed to use substitution as deception, and doing so should result in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, not a touchdown.
