Specifically in the Tennessee game

1. Yes they showed that Dee extended both arms out in the T formation signaling touchback. Which signals to the defense the play is dead.

2. In this case since a player other than the one who called the signal caught the ball. The ball is automatically dead the second they catch it.

If Dee had caught the ball and returned it, it would have been a penalty for advancing a ball after calling fair catch.

Thank you for giving a valid explanation of the rule and not trolling.
