I recall a game at New Mexico where the same thing happened against BYU.
This was back in the mid 1980s. UNM started out at the 20 on a touch back, then when they got the ball to the 29 and a half yard line, the sticks were brought out to measure and the Lobos got the first down by the nose of the football. I recall Jason Buck running up to the ref and pointing to the 20 and then to the ball that was a half yard short of the 30 and ask how it could be a first down if, by the lines on the field, they were short. In perhaps the first time I've seen a reversed call, the refs took the first down back and called it fourth down.
Kudos to Buck in the situation for his awareness.

Not true. The chain is the measuring stick not the lines. The lines may be off depending on who measured and painted
