Our assignor wants us, as T or C, to stay with the play such as this one, that crosses the court, to the other side of the lane. The fact that T had a call on this play seems consistent with that idea.
A second thought: I study the game not just in the books, but by watching parts of as many college games as I can. Some of the best officials have become recognizable, and that's the case with this game.
Finally, with a video such as this one, I watch it from the camera angle, but try to imagine what the view was from the calling official's position. From the camera angle, on this play, at the speed of the game, it's difficult to make a firm judgement. But from the position of either T or C, the call is apparent.
I guess that's why we work the games from the floor and not the stands. . .
