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

Really bad rule.

Miles said in his press conference that Holiday was calling off his players and the refs thought he was making an illegal hand motion as he was playing the ball. He said that rule is one of those "iffy" rules in the rulebook

Exactly on
The rule is dumb, but its not like its first rule in CFB to need tweaking ...
But it wasn't the fair catch signal that is waving one hand, usually the right, from side to side in the air, over one's head. Trindon waved both his hands toward the ground, like an incomplete pass or a runner is safe, that is used by teams to signal to other members that he isnt planning to run the ball back so no worries. I kinda missed exactly what happened being in the Student Section and all, but I'm guessing TH saw something and the ball took a perfect bounce. So basically good call, crappy rule
