We all know about everything involved on the TD Tennessee scored in OT that the ref decided to dismiss.
In regulation, the missed jersey grab on Tillman at the 8 second mark, would have given Tennessee a first down at the 32 yard line and time for another play then a makeable field goal attempt for the win.

Nobody has mentioned the 2nd personal foul with 44 seconds to go. Velus Jones fields the punt and is horse-collar tackled. That penalty is called, putting the ball at the Tennessee 40.

The missed call at the end of that same play was a late hit, piling on foul. We would have had the ball at Purdue's 45, 1st down with 44 seconds left. It was an obvious late hit and a forearm shiver that the refs ignored.

A horribly officiated game!
