The Oklahoma Sooners officially got away with their trick-play touchdown against Auburn in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Tigers.
In the second quarter of the game between the two ranked opponents, Oklahoma receiver Isaiah Sategna headed toward the sideline as if he was substituting out. Before he reached the sideline, the Sooners snapped the ball and quarterback John Mateer connected with him on a 24-yard touchdown that gave Oklahoma a 10-3 lead. The broadcast crew pointed out shortly after that this trickery seemed to go against the rules, and that using substitution as deception can result in a 15-yard penalty.
