Fumble review?

Here's the situation. SC short of goalline, play reviewed with at least 3 camera angles, takes over 2 minutes with no angle that clearly shows the players lower body but yet still buzzed down for review. What was seen by replay to instigate the review?
SC fumbles on goalline no play review by officials and only 1 camera angle shown on replay for TV. It's honestly that simple. We all know and were just shown that the cameras were in place on the previous play. Both announcers call it a clear fumble and still no review by officials and no other replay shown form alternate cameras that we know are in position. This isn't on JP it's on the officials and the SEC.

I can semi-understand the fumble no call.

But that PI was so bad it had to be intentional. Again, bad calls happen. But calling UT for PI there was so impressively bad it had to be an intentional call. The UT DB literally barely touched him. I refuse to believe something wasn’t rotten on that call.
Fingertips touched him.... it was the biggest pu**y PI call I've ever seen

Why didn’t they review the SC goal line ‘fumble’ they were reviewing every other play? The one commentator seemed pretty sure it was going to be TN ball, I couldn’t really tell.
I think it was to, why don't the coaches in the booth say something?

It has always bothered me the set up officials seem to have, in all sports. They seem to have no accountability, and when an official blows a call against your team through incompetence or agenda there is no pound of flesh offered. I realize the vast majority of the time, probably better than 98%, officials make the right call or seem to. I’ve heard all the arguments how hard their job is and how much integrity they adhere to, how they’re only human and do their best. But some calls or in some cases the lack of one seems glaring. When that’s the case what options do you have, who can an appeal be made to that will punish an official for a stupid or unethical action? There have been officials who were on a buy off before it’s not like it has never happened. I’m not saying that was the case I’m saying it could have been and if so there’s zero you can do about it. There’s been a few cases where it’s like yes we blew the call, yes we cost you the game, “sorry bout that” is all you get.

except they don't make anything to begin with
They make plenty for a fine to be deducted, and their travel and lodging, if necessary, is payed. Considering it's a part time job, and some make about $3,000 per game working a side job. Newbies make about $800 per game.

I’ve watched every angle I could find, and I’ve never seen the ball. The RB got control right before he went into the pile, and then you never see the ball till we come out of the pile with it.

Had they called it a fumble there’s no way they could have overturned it, and the same for calling the play dead. It was an impossible play to review in my opinion.

I thought it was a fumble, but I never saw the ball

Im a diehard UT fan and have been for damn near 30 years and havent missed more than a hand full of games and I havent seen one replay yet that looked like a fumble to me.
