There was a hurdling penalty against Texas in the OU game. After the defender hurdled over the line illegally he blocked the extra point. OU declined the penalty in order to keep the extra point try at 20 yards, instead of moving closer and reducing their angle for a poor kick.
My question is.....how could they decline the penalty and still get another opportunity at the try? If they decline the penalty the result of the play should stand, which was try no good. Can a team accept a penalty and refuse the yardage portion of it?
Or did our bretheren in Dallas goof on this play?
