So just to be clear. The penalty was correct since the ball was allowed to be snapped.

The total frick up was the official over the ball not noticing UNC substituting 5 extra guys and allowing Tenn to match their substitutions.

If the ump would have not reset and allowed for UT to sub, then that would have allowed UNC to unfuk themselves and they would have either snapped and spiked it with no penalty or kicked it anyway...so not sure that was the critical thing, the ref called it right on the field

No. The penelty wasn't correct. It should have been a 15 yard penelty for UNC. Not 5. They had 12 men on the field not including the ones running off.

Also on the so called Catch which wasn't a catch at all. The kid never controlled the ball inbounds. After that ruling the clock should have started after the ball was placed. It wasn't. It started on the snap. Which was wrong.

And honestly if you want to get picky about it the offical came on the mic and said the "Game is over" by rule that should have been it. A replay can't be done after the offical calls the game by rule.
