Big 12 officials applied the 10 second runoff at the end of regulation in error. UCF should have had the opportunity to rekick on 4th down.

Very different from my usual posts, but my sister-in-law has been on the organ transplant list for a long time and is in desperate need of a kidney. If you have it in your heart, all I’m asking is for you to simply share this post, as you never know who may see it. 🙏🏻
