Kansas State drew within 10 points of Oklahoma in the third quarter on Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas.
Time to break out the trick play and go for the onside kick.
It appeared to work splendidly as Kansas State kicker Ty Zentner executed it beautifully and managed to recover the ball after it traveled 10 yards.

However, after a replay that appeared to favor the Wildcats, OU Coach Lincoln Riley challenged the call.
Someone on the Sooners’ staff has incredible eyesight … or made a lucky guess.
Watch the second replay and you will see that Zentner somehow contacts the ball twice while kicking it.
However, after a second review, it was determined that Zentner kicked the ball twice, resulting in illegal touching and Oklahoma football. (2/2) pic.twitter.com/TIO9zLmhp5

That’s not legal and the ball went to the Sooners.
