I looked up the game stats and here is what the play-by-play stats show
W 3-19 W49 Sorgi, Jim deep pass incomplete to Orr, Jonathan.
W 4-19 W49 PENALTY AU unsportsmanlike conduct 6 yards to the AU45.
Not sure why only 6 yrds were marched off. Hmmmm....

If I remember correctly, there was a LOT going on during the dead-ball interval. But, there was still no clear reason for the strange enforcement.
The only thing that makes sense is that it was accidentially marked from the spot of the USC flag, which was the at Wis40 (ie near the QB who had 2 AU players in his face)...so they put the ball down on the AU45.
