If the whistles blown, which it was, the play is dead...case closed. Once players hear the whistle (which if I did, they did), they let up a bit, if not completely.
Yes, it was a blown call, as was about half a dozen against Vandy during the game, but that doesn't matter in this case. Whistle was blown and you can definately hear it in the replay, as well as see the ref blowing it and waving his arms.
It was a flat out horrible call, regardless of anything else

At this point you're looking for some sort of intervention from the facts. And the undisputable facts are that it was a valid interception,Gordon's knee never touched the ground,whistle or no whistle there was no Vandy player that was going to run him down,and the whistle was the result of an error in judgement by the official. The only just call was Touchdown Tennessee.
