Every play is reviewed even if there is no official time out taken. The replay officials obviously saw enough to confirm the ruling on the field without having to waste time to make a random Vol fan happy.
Also, there was question as to whether he stepped out of bounds on the return.... that wasn't reviewed either......... and even if it was reviewed in the booth, there's no way they had time to review both the part of the return AND the "fumble."
There should have been an official timeout called for the review of both aspects in question of the return.
I am not the one not giving it up. The ruling is on my side. The pic you just linked is after mine. I am not denying that he tossed the ball very quickly, but he definitely crossed the plane before doing so. That gentleman I circled agreed, as did the review guys in the booth.
Since you are so deadset on arguing this, what does it matter if the ball was ruled down at the one? Even if SC gets a highly unlikely stop, bama still won by 2 td's.
Do you not agree with the notion that they might have been reviewing whether Barron stepped out of bounds and failed to notice/review the fumble in question? There's no way they had time to accurately review and conclude on both aspects.

Also, nothing was stopping Spurrier from throwing the challenge flag. I guess he was just giving in to the bama machine.
Because it was kicked out of the end zone.... no TD, no momentum swing Bama, SCs ball, 0-0. Thats why. And it could easily happen again to UT....
It was not an obvious mistake... The views that showed it really well came from the cable camera which is shown only on the broadcast version... It was not shown in the stadium. Every other view showed an apparent TD, except the cable camera.
