On November ninth, a college football game between USC and Northwestern turned controversial due to an unconventional play. USCs reserve quarterback, Sam Huard, wore the same jersey number as their regular punter, leading to a fake punt that gained significant yardage. This play, which occurred early in the second quarter, helped USC score a tie-breaking touchdown. However, the Big Ten conference later announced that USC should have received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for this action, as it violated the NCAAs Unfair Tactics rule. The review of this incident could lead to further clarification or enforcement of these regulations in future games.
