During a rivalry game between Miami (Ohio) and Ohio, the Miami stadium operations department was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after displaying images of multiple sets of uprights on the video board during a field goal attempt. At the end of the first half, with two seconds remaining, Ohio kicker Brack Peacock missed a 34-yard attempt while the screen behind the goalposts showed three sets of uprights to cause confusion. Referees issued a rare penalty, granting Ohio a first-and-goal at the 8-yard line. Ohio opted to attempt a touchdown instead of another field goal, but the Miami defense successfully prevented them from scoring as the half ended.
