Miami (Ohio) was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after using its stadium video board in an attempt to distract Ohio's kicker during a field goal attempt in their Mid-American Conference matchup.

Officials flagged the RedHawks for displaying a graphic on the video board as the Bobcats lined up for the kick, resulting in a 15-yard penalty that gave Ohio a first down. The incident drew attention for its unusual use of electronic displays to interfere with an opponent's play.
