I haven't seen anyone mention yet that the covering official on the onside kick is seen running in waving his arms to stop the clock (and presumably blowing his whistle) when he thinks the ball is under the pile of players, and before the OU player recovered the kick. Therefore, the best OU could have hoped for in the deal would have been a rekick after the inadvertant whistle while the ball was loose.
