Alan Bowman called for unsportsmanlike conduct after QB gives finger guns to Arkansas sideline

Oklahoma State football quarterback Alan Bowman, fresh off of throwing a 36-yard pass to Brennan Presley to put the Cowboys at Arkansas' six-yard line, made a potentially costly mistake late in the fourth quarter on Saturday.

Bowman, a seventh-year senior with loads of college experience, celebrated the play in a 28-28 tied game by taunting the Arkansas sideline, which led to him being called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Bowman curled both his index fingers into guns and pointed them at the Razorbacks sideline after the throw.

The play moved Oklahoma State back to Arkansas' 21-yard line, which eventually led to it kicking a field goal to give them a 31-28 lead in the fourth period. Bowman finished regulation 26-of-46 passing for 325 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Cowboys were down 14-0 in the first quarter and 21-7 at halftime but were able to mount a comeback in the second half.

Without Bowman's penalty, Oklahoma State hypothetically would've had a better shot at scoring a touchdown, which would've put more pressure on Arkansas during its final drive. The Razorbacks on the ensuing drive kicked a game-tying field goal as time expired to send the game to overtime.
