What a crock that they wouldn't show that. But again.. unsurprising. Thanks for that. You were spot on.... right at 6 minutes.It was around the 6:00 mark of Q1. And indeed it was cut from the replay.

Edit: I just watched it on Youtube.... (Thanks Freak!!!) and I didn't see any zebra signaling dead play... Couldn't hear a whistle (Thanks Neyland!) but there should have been a visual signal that it was dead. There was none.
We got robbed.

I’d like to see a better quality video on youtube (and one that includes the officials’ explanation). But from the replay you can clearly see kiffin is wrong about UT players stopping because they heard a whistle too. Nobody on the field stopped except Matt corrall. It really just looked like a hard play action or broken Statue of Liberty play where we got in the QBs face way before he was expecting it, and he just froze.
After the play kiffin was working the refs and it did look like he was trying to say corral heard a whistle. I think corral and kiffin were grasping at straws, but may have succeeded. IMO the refs were fooled by the play action, had no idea what was going on or what to do, and decided giving us the ball but not the points was a fair compromise.
If you missed it Wallace got his untimely response which in a nut shell is the ruling on the field was correct.
that guy made the call from a good 20 yards away. He is almost out of the camera view. Most of our issue is that there is a ref right on top of the play who didn't blow the play dead. Also didnt that ref you highlighted run to the end zone as well??So I had a long conversation with an NFL ref of Twitter. He highlighted that the linesman at the bottom of the screen, which is barely visible on camera, raised his hand. This is equivalent to blowing the whistle apparently. He did so just as Baron and Blakley were bringing Corral down.
Due to this action the play was able to be called dead at that moment. Was this right the official would not say but only that due to the flow of the play that the call could be made. He admitted that it was as most plays are, purely judgement. He would not or could not answer why an official who was standing beside Kiffin and further away than the Back Judge and Ref would feel the need to make that call.
Long story short we were jobbed by that ruling and it made the play unable to be reviewed.
If you look to the top of the formation you can see where I believe the ball was supposed to go if given time. The crossing receiver #10 turns after the top receiver knocks down our nickel and you can see he knew the play was busted. No reason for him to look back towards Corral unless he knew it was a fake and expecting expecting the ball.

That's exactly what I thought was happening. One of those delayed play action fakes were nobody knows the QB still has the ball. Then he bombs it 50 yards on you. Except our guys went straight for the QB.The linesman should never have made that call. The ref and back judge ran with Baron. It only takes one idiot zebra to muck up a play and the linesman did just that.
Should he have made to call absolutely not but that doesn’t change the fact that he did.
In my opinion this was a busted fake and the intended target was #10 who was in motion from the bottom to the top. You can see him looking to the QB for the ball.
If not for the penetration on the play 10 would have been wide open for a big gain. Corral saw the penetration and knew the play wasn’t going to work shortly after the fake handoff.

Ha I played football for many years and was never told anything was the "equivalent of a whistle". If you stopped and no whistle I this would be a bad day for you as I would bring the wood. And doesn't clear recovery trump a premature "whistle"?So I had a long conversation with an NFL ref of Twitter.

If we stopped before the whistle our coach would make us run at the next practice til we puked.Ha I played football for many years and was never told anything was the "equivalent of a whistle".

I think the entire world knows it was a bad call, but the SEC will never admit it. Not sure how much more the horse can be beat.
