STILLWATER, Okla. >> The officiating mistake was a doozy — and it cannot be fixed. The play that followed was even more astonishing.
One of the oddest endings imaginable left Oklahoma State stunned and Central Michigan celebrating.
A misinterpreted rule extended the game when it should have been over and allowed the Chippewas to score a wild, winning touchdown on a Hail Mary and lateral — yes, both! — that covered half the field for a 30-27 upset of No. 22 Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Oklahoma State (1-1) tried to kill the final 4 seconds of the game by throwing the ball away on fourth down, but the Cowboys were penalized for intentional grounding, which is a loss of down penalty.
