No. 22 Oklahoma State played Central Michigan, and it's leaving with a 30-27 loss thanks to a last-second Hail Mary lateral.

Apparently, it should've never happened in the first place.

From newsok.com:

Mid-American Conference referee Tim O’Dey said Saturday that the Oklahoma State-Central Michigan game should not have been extended and that his officiating crew erred in giving Central Michigan an untimed down.

The Chippewas  threw a Hail Mary touchdown pass on that final play and beat OSU 30-27.

O’Dey said he checked with Rogers Reddings and the game should end on an accepted live ball loss-of-down penalty with no time left.

It won't overturn the result of the game, though:

The controversy did not matter to CMU players: 

Central Michigan is now 2-0 and hosts UNLV next week. Oklahoma State hosts Pittsburgh in what was supposed to be the toughest out-of-conference game in 2016.
