In the first Friday of the college football season, Baylor pulls off a shocking upset of 14th ranked TCU in a 50-48 shootout victory. Baylor's crowd clearly did their job of making it hard for TCU to call the offense at the line of scrimage, as at one point the referee called a false start penalty on "everyone but the center".
It happened in the first quarter of last night's game in Baylor. Baylor already had a 14-13 lead, which is noteworthy because TCU only allowed 14 points in the first quarter once during all of last season. As the game commentators mention, "an inexperienced offensive line, a loud crowd, and a new quarterback" contributed to the entire TCU offense jumping before the snap by the center. Referee Randy Christal couldn't call the penalty on just one player, so he made this penalty call which is sure to be considered a "classic".
