Did anyone else see the Baylor muffed snap on their first play in overtime?

It wasn't muffed, but it was a a snap that became a ball loose from a backward pass (after it got knocked out of the snapper's hand when it hit the snapper's leg/butt).  It was a legal snap, but the officials ruled it to be an illegal snap.  Don't know what replay can do about this, but the best Tech could have got would have been an inadvertent whistle.

I think.  No replay expert, here.

Normally on an IW if there was a clear and immediate recovery the ball would be awarded to the recovering team by replay. But since this was ruled a dead ball foul I’m not sure if replay could get involved.

Yeah I will admit my bias on this but I didn't agree with that call but Tech normally seems be be on the wrong end on calls like that
