As I posted two offensive linemen moved before the snap.

The right guard and right tackle.

The ref on the side line nearest the camera throw a flag which you can not due to the angle of both camera views. The line ref. on the LSU side lines throw the flag.

I was there that night, just say I could see very well and even turned to my brother in law and said movement on the line; when the flag came out at the start of the play.

Also they could have thrown a flag for grounding, McDonald throw the ball to a tackle (68)and no back, te or wr is near him.

Vince Young's knee was clearly down in the 2006 Rose Bowl, but you don't hear me bitching about it.

If they call the grounding then the penalties offset and the replay the down. So both blown calls for USC sucked. I was on the sideline and it was plain as day.

yeah, the no call on the intentional grounding by McDonald has always gotten overlooked.
