From the stands, I didn't see any fair catch signal from Trindon. It looked like he was signaling to stay away from the ball, then changed his mind and picked it up...

Was that a blown call by the refs, or did he really make a fair catch signal?

It was the right call. A player is not allowed to make any hand gestures then run with the ball.

It wasn't the fair catch signal. He waived his teammates away from the ball. Apparently that signal, per the rule, precluded him from touching the ball. The call was correct.

According to Gary, it was the right call. He made an "incomplete pass" signal, waving his arms left and right as the chest-high level, meaning to tell his players to get away from the ball. Verne and Gary said that this is a new rule in college football that you can't advance a punt after making that signal
