"Ladies and gentlemen, please refrain from shooting lasers onto the field. Thank you."

Rice's offense had driven to the red zone early when quarterback Nate German took off on a run and was brought down six yards outside of the goal line. Subsequent replays showed a large green laser dancing on the turf of Rice Stadium in the vicinity of where German was running.

Rice settled for a field goal to open the game's scoring to cap the drive.

No lasers were seen after the referee's polite request.
