What’s the rule on blowing a play dead for a false start and not calling a false start?

I’ve never seen an official blow a play dead for a false start then decide against calling a false start. Is there even a rule on the matter or does it just almost never happen?

If you're talking about the LSU -TxA&M game, the dumbass ref called a false start when the fullback started in motion; they conferred and said "that was a brainfart; he is allowed to move."

One of our linebackers was blitzing unblocked and about to blow the play up for at least a five-yard loss if not disrupting the exchange and causing a game-ending turnover, so in effect it was "we blew an inadvertent whistle to save the Aggies from a potentially disastrous play. *whew*"

Decisive play that directly determined the final score.

Yes, it was all a vast conspiracy!

No, the one at the end of regulation was legal for that exact reason. It was the one in OT where the TB twisted and leaned that was a false start that wasn't called.

AnM is so clearly insecure about the legitimacy of their win
