I applaud the ref for his courage in making the call especially since it seemed the offensive player gained an advantage. For me this is an issue the refs(NCAA rules) should address because it can be considered unfair for the team that was penalized because this is a play you see without any violation called.
but as the article notes-
"In fact, the same rare call had been whistled against Bucknell earlier in the game by another member of the crew."
