The problem is that UNC essentially got a free time out because of their penalty. The problem is also that they should have been backed up 15 yards and not 5. Also, when the referee declares the game to be over, it's over. He did. Then they changed their mind.

Too many men on the field is a 5 yarder.
Illegal substitution is a 5-yarder
Illegal participation is a 15-yarder.
None of the FG team participated in the play, so it is clearly a 5 yard penalty.

Unless he is wrong, and is shown that he is wrong.

UNC would have been screwed out of an earned win.
The only problem is the ref calling a game over, that wasn't.
