From the NCAA rule book:
Quote:
g. No Team A player may block an opponent until Team A is eligible to touch a
free-kicked ball [S19].
PENALTY—Live-ball foul. Five yards from the previous spot, or five yards
from the spot where the subsequent dead ball belongs to Team
B, or from the spot where the ball is placed after a touchback
[S18] (A.R. 6-1-2-VII).

Legal in NFHS. Illegal in NCAA. UTK should have re-kicked from the 25 yard line.
I watched that play about 10 times online just now, looking for the illegal block everyone was talking about. Never could see it until I found a replay from the end zone camera. So I'm not surprised the officials missed it.
