They mentioned it but said it didn't sound like a referee's whistle.
I thought the Fox announcing crew was pretty weak. The color guy sounded like a 17-yr old kid. Buck didn't even know what down it was in a crucial goal line situation. Not a very strong crew for a National Championship game.
I thought Ron Cherry did a good job as WH although his signaling and verbiage is tough for me to watch. He's a little too deliberate and slow for my taste. But, heck, he's there and I'm watching on TV so more power to him!
In these last 2 games on TV, this one and OSU-TX, it seems there must be an hour's worth of commercials. I know there were 3 minutes of ads between quarters. Must be a pain for the players and coaches although the payoff for the games is $18 million dollars!
