When the MTSU QB scrambled on 3rd down, he took out the chain gang and when they set back up, they moved two yards downfield. The MTSU receiver ran his route to the 1st down marker on the Tech sideline and made it by a yard. He was shocked to look to the other side of the field and see he was a yard short. When they officials blew the whistle to look at it, the chain gang slyly shuffled back to their original position that would make it a first down. But the oblivious replay official just looked to see if the pass was spotted correctly and compared it to the bad chain gang position. I just watched the ASN replay after being at the game and was surprised they weren't talking about it. If they had driven it down to make it 35-17 it may not have mattered, but who knows.
