Yea not gonna lie I'm still butt hurt over that game. One call cost us that game because 3 plays later yall drove down the field and pretty much won the game.
Still a safety.

There's no need for any butthurt. If you have to fault anyone, fault Coach Freeze for calling a play out of shotgun on that 4th and inch play in the 4th quarter.

With regards to the "safety," the correct call was made on the field and upheld on the challenge. The rule is just the inverse of what the rule is on offense. See where the ball is in your picture? He may have been tackled in the end zone, but at that point ball was on the half-yard line, right where the referees spotted it.

Ole Miss played a hell of a game. See y'all at the Grove in the fall.

478Rebel - I suggest you review the NCAA Football Rules and Interpretations book:

Forward Progress
ARTICLE 3. A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound his whistle or declare it dead: a. When it goes out of bounds other than a kick that scores a field goal after
touching the uprights or crossbar, when a ball carrier is out of bounds, or when a ball carrier is so held that his forward progress is stopped. When in question, the ball is dead (A.R. 4-2-1-II).

ARTICLE 3. a. The most forward point of the ball when declared dead between the end lines shall be the determining point in measuring distance gained or lost by either team during any down

Consequently by rule it was not a safety
