VIDEO: Referee Gets Hit by Oklahoma State's Snap After Standing Directly Behind the Center
By Karl Rasmussen
Someone needs to explain to this referee that pretty much the only place on the field he can't stand is directly behind the center. Well, for some reason, the referee during the Oklahoma State-Texas game was in the wrong position entirely, and ended up interfering with the snap as he was standing-- with his back turned-- right behind the center.

Spencer Sanders was incredibly confused on the play as he never receiver his snap due to the official's errant positioning.
In reality, there was a flag thrown and the ref was blowing the play dead, but it sure seemed that he had just cost the Cowboys a big play.
