The problem is your belief that the announcers know or understand the rules ....Apparently just like you don't

I think you are guilty of not reading the whole rule section yourself re the "impetus" concept. When the ball hit the ground in play, making it a loose ball, and the Auburn player then touches it (assuming it's not a forced touch), the kicking team isn't responsible for impetus at that point and it's a live ball.



FR-86 RULE 8 / SCORING
b. Initial impetus is considered expended and the responsibility for the ball’s progress is charged to a player:
1. If he kicks a ball not in player possession or bats a loose ball after it strikes the ground

In what way did he kick or bat the ball that changed the initial impetus?

Are you saying that brushing his pinky on the way into the endzone constitutes ‘batting’ it?
