Illegal touching: Referee going viral for repeatedly touching Sam Ehlinger's butt
Every now and then, you’ll see teammates help each other up and pat each other on the butt. Heck, sometimes an official will even help a player up and pat him on the butt and tell him “good play.”
But, on Saturday during the Texas-West Virginia game, it got a little bit out of hand.
This clip of a referee repeatedly patting Texas QB Sam Ehlinger on the butt went viral during Saturday’s game:

We count 4 pats and then a little rub as the ref followed Ehlinger toward the Texas huddle.
Nothing wrong with showing some appreciation for a great college player like Ehlinger, but maybe keep it to a couple pats or so to avoid going viral on Twitter.
