Most Embarrassing Penalties in College Football History

It leads NC State as we start the fourth quarter

Alex Mastromato does not punt. And now he boots it. He realized 17 yards is a long way to go

And because of that penalty, NC State is knocking on the door

It's a long way to go, but he's going to pick up a first down. But obviously, you know, not used to being in that situation

Andre Ellington. Oh, was he met? Oh, that's going to be a 15-yarder there

No doubt about it. DJ Swearinger, as if he couldn't help himself

he's going to learn a lesson on that one. But did he ever lay out Ellington

Ball at the 45. Play fake, Yarnell. Tries to go over the top, and it's incomplete

Intended for Malcolm Epps and a flag on the play. And they will have to look at this for targeting

Let's bring in our rules yst, Matt Austin. Matt, what are you seeing here on the replay with Corey Johnson there

that could be the guy they're looking at for targeting? Yeah, this should definitely be a targeting call

The receiver is obviously a defenseless player. He launches, comes in head first, makes helmet contact

This is definitely going to be targeting and should be confirmed easily. That play is under further review

Yeah, that's launching, leaning, crown of him. I mean, that's everything in the book

That checks all the boxes. Targeting was confirmed on Curry Johnson here on this hit on Malcolm Epps

He has been disqualified for the game. Pump something short. Try and burn him deep

Instead, it's Schrader on the keeper. Got away from Skalski. Flagged down

a rare face mask call on the quarterback not often you get one of those but again that's Garrett Schrader's running style he's not afraid

to get in there and mix it up with these guys getting on the edge against James Skalski we talking about and every defender in the country came after Swanson May have gotten a piece of it just based on the flight of that ball

But it takes a Clemson bounce. Does it ever? You see the beanbag come out

Indicate where the ball was touched. It was an illegal bat during the kick on the kicking team number 10

And the spot of the legal touching is the optimal spot. First down

48 yards for the win. Kick is blocked

Flag is down. I don't know if they went over the top of the snapper

may have a second opportunity. First of all, leaping. Number seven in the defense

15-yard penalty. Replayed the down. James Jackson right in the middle

He's got to go straight up. He cannot come down. You cannot go over the back of a player to get there

And no doubt they're going for fourth down here. Miami struggling to get men off the field

And the Miami coach is way out on the sideline and a flag thrown on Lance Gibry

What is he doing? I mean, he came almost all the way out to the hash marks

screaming at the referee, Adam Savoie. And it looked like the officials were going to give his players time to get off the field

seconds after the play was over on sportsmanlike conduct against the Miami assistant coach

And they had a disaster going on as they were trying to get guys in and then trying to get

guys out. And you actually see Guidry there on the far side trying to call timeout. If he's

worried about having two men on the field, the umpires standing over the ball giving them time

to get their subs off the field And three Is LSU coming or backing off They coming And he launches it Flag is down as Poking Wilson comes up with that

My oh my! Ollie Gay, number 11. That's targeting, ladies and gentlemen

It's a launch, upward thrust to the header neck area of a defenseless player

now what's interesting is there's no doubt about that the third running back for wake forest

marucci launches one and it's picked off mj devonshire but a flag on the play

there's a man down as well but just a great job in coverage right there understanding

Jamal Banks' ability and how he goes up and makes acrobatic catches

But great job to see in the football the whole entire time right there. Watch this

I think that's what... I mean, when you get under the leg of the punter, I mean..

I don't know, letter of the law-wise. What are we going for here

Yeah, I'm not sure what that is. It's poor is what it is. Poor acting

So Duke will re-punt. Well, he has three touchdowns, including a receiving touchdown

So you talk about an all-purpose back. And the Wolfpack will have the football again

and trying to bust one out across the 25-yard line before he is brought back

The kicking team had two players of number four during the kick

This is illegal equipment. Five-yard penalty will be added at the end of the run. Two number fours. Look at the left side

Here and here. Can't do that. Scott Satterfield's trying to change the culture

As King gets off a wobbly kick, takes a great Cardinal bounce, and it's picked up by Amari Rogers on the hop in traffic

And now flags out as we've got a fight away from the ball. A couple of players at the bottom of that pile were going after it and there were punches thrown This gets ugly right at the left side of the screen That Andrew Booth That the Clemson player on top and that is a full punch

On Trinnell Troutman. So it looks like Booth's headed to the locker room. He's already been kicked out of the game

And he starts at the line of scrimmage right at the bottom of the screen on the hash marks right now. Here comes a shot there

Another shot there. and Booth just loses his cool throws him to the ground and then this is where it gets ugly

completely uncalled for not okay still alive oh he got a blockers they got blockers they've got

a lane no black shirts between the goal line can you believe what you just saw in the wake of one

of the craziest endings in college football history the Atlantic Coast Conference has announced the

suspension of the on-field officiating crew as well as the replay official and communicator

following the Miami at Duke game on Saturday. A series of four errors during the final play

resulted in a two-game suspension for the crew. Error number one, the replay official erred in not

overturning the ruling on the field that the Miami player had released the ball prior to his knee

being down. If called, this would have ended the game. Next error. The on-field officials

errored by failing to penalize Miami for an illegal block in the back at the Miami 16-yard line

If called, the ball would have been placed at the Miami 8-yard line and the game would have

been extended for an untimed down. Third error. A block-in-the-back foul was called at the Duke

26-yard line. After the officials conferred which is appropriate, they correctly determined that the

block was from the side, which resulted in the flag being picked up. The replay official was not

involved in the decision to pick up the flag. However, the referee did not effectively manage

communication and properly explain why the flag was picked up. Finally, the on-field crew failed

to penalize a Miami player for leaving the bench area and entering the field prior to the end of

The foul would not have negated the touchdown because it would have been enforced as a dead-ball foul
