Marshall wasn't close to being across the LOS. That's why they didn't review it. It was pretty clear live if you're not a dumbass.

The Gumps are used to the refs adjusting the field boundaries and line of scrimage as they have so much in the past for them (a la Petersen's interception with three steps in-bounds, moving the ball back on Jefferson's first-down, up for a Bama first down, etc.) They expected the same at Jordan-Hare and for once they didn't get their way. Even if he did cross the line of scrimmage - don't care. Bama lost and they only had 6 penalties called on them, which is still higher than the normal 1 called even though they commit many infractions and have the refs turn a blind eye.
