Refs steal a play from Texas Tech at halftime against the Longhorns

With one second left until half time, following a Red Raider timeout, Texas Tech fakes a kneel down. What might have been a game tying play, or might have been nothing, was completely screwed up as the refs blew the play dead.

Pott's knee was not even close to the ground, yet it was close enough to fool the refs out on the field.

Wow, very strange.

Per the update just now, according to the rulebook when you simulate a kneeldown, the play is officially blown dead.

How long has this been a rule? Is it just a college rule?

Dan Marino made this play famous!
