Give the Oklahoma State video division some factors for creativity.

The Cowboys have a particularly giant video board at one finish of T. Boone Pickens Stadium. And Texas was heading that means on the finish of the second quarter when it had the ball. In order Longhorns kicker Cameron Dicker lined up for a 40-yard area objective simply earlier than halftime, OSU tried an optical phantasm.

Sure, these are yellow vertical strains on the video board designed to appear to be uprights. The objective was clearly to get Dicker to goal towards the incorrect spot and miss the kick.

It didn’t work. Dicker made it to chop OSU’s halftime result in 4.

The optical phantasm trick can be higher than watching your area objective try each in actual life and on the video board. That’s what occurred to Iowa State’s Connor Assalley per week in the past. As he hit the upright on a kick that flew towards the video board he additionally needed to watch it hit the upright on the display too.
