An officiating error led to an
Oklahoma State touchdown Saturday in the Cowboys'
36-34 win over
Kansas State.
In the final three minutes before halftime, Oklahoma State had a first-and-10 at the K-State 45-yard line. After a holding call, a sack and a 4-yard reception, the Cowboys faced third-and-23. Quarterback
Mason Rudolph then completed a pass to
Marcell Ateman for 19 yards. The first-down marker, however, was mistakenly placed at the K-State 40, instead of the 35, and officials didn't catch the mistake, awarding the Cowboys a first down instead of a fourth-and-4.
Four plays later, Oklahoma State scored a touchdown to cut K-State's lead to 28-20 less than a minute before halftime. It went on to win the game on a 37-yard field goal in the final seconds.
