There was not one... but TWO inadvertant whistles in this game. Both came on kicks that were muffed by the receiver while the ball was loose. On one (free kick/kickoff) the officials gave the ball to the team which recoverd the ball. On the punt, the kicking team recovered the ball and the officials made them replay the down. I caught all of this on replays later in the games broadcast so I do apologize if I have made a mistake.

I am confused on the first IW why the recovering team got the ball. I am certain that the whistle was while the ball was still losse after the muff.

I am not up to date on NCAA rules so I will leave this to those that know better than me for an explanation.
