This was largely disproven long ago. At least one camera angle of this play clearly shows Miles pointing at the ground where Tolliver is lying down, attempting to signal to the referees that Tolliver made the catch and was down so the clock needed to be stopped RIGHT THEN (although the refs still let an additional 2 seconds melt off any way). From that camera angle, Miles is clearly pointing at the spot of the tackle. Meanwhile, Jefferson was standing back around the 40 yard line, much too far back behind Miles to be signaled to (such as to "clock" the ball). If you watch closely, Miles often makes similar hand gestures during games, and LSU has never "clocked" it after the other times that he has done that.
