An official delivered a hilarious penalty call during the third quarter of Saturday’s Buffalo-Central Michigan game.
With Central Michigan on offense, a false start penalty was called. However, it wasn’t against just one player. And the official made sure to note that when she announced the call.
“False start, offense, everyone but the center,” she called.

That sure is a lot of penalties on one play. Did all of those players move early? The official certainly seemed to believe so, but she knew the center didn’t.
The moment provided some entertainment during a game that was mostly lopsided. Buffalo went on to win, 34-24.
