On final play — “We knew that the referee wasn’t going to blow the whistle, was going to raise a hand and the clock was going to start. We were trying to set up as fast as we could, and we thought we were pretty close.”

If you watch the replay, you can hear the whistle. Since the ref is behind the QB, a whistle is the only way the QB knows the play can start.

On the last play (more): “I wanted to make sure that happened. I did not see the flag, but was told the flag was thrown. I wondered if his foot was in bounds and it was. When they came back and said they were going to see if play clock had started or expired, I figured that the penalty … if there was a penalty, it was the end of the game. With us staring at the clock, I did not figure out that we had — even with the clock — it would be a difficult victory.”
Indeed. If the flag was thrown (and it seems like the refs told Miles that a flag was thrown, likely for illegal motion (#83 not being set at the line)) then Auburn accepts the penalty, the clock is 0:00, and the game ends.
Because the game CAN end on an offensive penalty.
But do go on with your awesome melt OP.
