Utah punter Tom Hackett hit one of the wires above the field holding up the skycam with a punt during the third quarter of Saturday's game against Oregon.
Watching the video carefully shows the wire wobbling after the football touches it.
By rule, the play didn't count and the Utes got a do-over. Utah took advantage by running a fake punt, with Hackett saving a bad snap with a great one-handed catch, then running 33 yards for a first down.
Utah was beating Oregon 41-13 at the time, and the fake punt continued the drive that led to another touchdown. In the end, Utah won 62-20, making a bold statement while destroying Oregon's chances in making the College Football Playoff.
H/T AA.
