Is it really unsportsmanlike conduct if a tiger is involved?
In the third quarter of a 36-15 defeat to Bethune-Cookman, Jackson State wide receiver Warren Newman went full extension to haul in a 34-yard touchdown grab. The Tigers' mascot got a bit too enthusiastic and ran into the end zone.
The referees assessed a 15-yard penalty for the infraction.

The penalty proved relatively costly for Jackson State. It moved the kickoff up 15 yards, with Jimmie Robinson returning the ball to the Bethune-Cookman 43-yard line.
