In my opinion as I stated previously I think that illegal motion must be obvious. I want that motion to be illegal without any doubt about it. If I have to take that video and look at it frame by frame and in slow motion to see if it's legal or illegal then I believe it's best not to call it. I would expect that most all levels of play the officials are instructed to not call a foul if it fits into the category of a call that could go either way. If this player would have taken a much more obvious motion forward I believe a flag would have been thrown. The illegal shift was obvious without any doubt and it was flagged.

I forget. What happened on the illegal shift by OU?

That penalty nulified a successful two-point conversion which tied the game with 1:28 left. However Oklahoma then converted the try following the penalty.

The issue on that play was that first an Oklahoma back shifted to a new position and prior to him getting set again the motion man started his movement. The player who was then in motion at the snap also appeared to be the end receiver on the line-of-scrimmage and was in motion on the LOS and not a back in legal motion.

In other words, there were some real problems for Oklahoma on this play.
