I've seen several Rebel fans post about this with no further explanation, other that it was a missed call (in their opinion).

I was multi-tasking during the game (frying chicken) and missed this. Can somebody please provide Cliffs?

Looked like his feet were in the air when he touches the ball so no safety

The only possible safety I saw was on Ole Miss. Guy attempts to field the kickoff, going backwards around the half yard line. Fumbles it into endzone, recovers & kneels. Not sure the actual rule but it looked a lil squirrelly.

It was the kickoff. You can touch the ball outside the end zone so long as you don't actually gain possession until you are in the end zone. The returner never had the ball until he was in the end zone, so touchback.
