Miami (Ohio) penalized for using video board to distract kicker

Summary

During a college football game on November 10, Miami (Ohio) was flagged for unsportmanlike conduct after using its video board to attempt to distract Ohio's kicker, Brack Peacock. The scoreboard displayed depictions of the field goal uprights ahead of a 34-yard field goal attempt, leading to the penalty. Although Peacock missed the kick, Miami's actions drew attention and were associated with a recent NFL guideline modification regarding video board usage during field goal attempts. The second attempt by Ohio was mishandled due to a botched snap, leaving the score at 17-7 at halftime.
