The Miami (Ohio) University football team was penalized in a 34-17 win on Tuesday night for distracting Ohio University’s kicker with images on the video screen behind the goalposts.
Ohio kicker Brack Peacock lined up for the field goal attempt Tuesday, when Miami flashed images of smaller field goalposts on the screen behind the actual goalposts. Peacock missed the attempt with six seconds left in the first half.
Referees flagged Miami, saying that the screen violated an NCAA rule that teams cannot distract those on the field with video screens or audio during plays. The Bobcats gained an automatic first down.
