Miami Ohio gets one of the strangest penalties in college football after wild scoreboard stunt

Miami University of Ohio received an unusual unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during its November 10, 2026, college football game against Ohio University at Yager Stadium in Oxford, Ohio. Stadium video board operators displayed images of additional yellow goalposts behind the actual uprights while the visiting team's kicker prepared for a field goal.With Ohio leading 17-7 late in the first half, kicker Brack Peacock attempted a 34-yard field goal. The ball struck the upright and missed, but officials penalized Miami for the distracting scoreboard display. The penalty moved Ohio closer to the end zone and awarded an automatic first down.
