Kenny Hill's gesture in the Arkansas game that drew a 15-yard penalty was actually a gesture where the TCU QB was making the sign for "rising kings", not a throat slash, according to Horned Frogs staffers.

The move, though, drew a flag and enabled the Hogs to have a short field and come back to win the game Saturday in double overtime.

The sign he did is diagonal across his chest, not across his throat.

Hill has done the gesture before but no official had called it before, said a TCU official.
