I do know that I was there. Overshadowed by the punt return was Ole Miss’ drive all the way to the Tiger goal line after the Cannon run. lSU then put on one of the greatest goal line stands in college football history, IMHO.
I was there too - in the north end zone almost directly in line with his run.
The end of the game was the payoff - I could tell nothing about the line of scrimmage on the other end of the field.
Was a real nail biter watching those last 3 plays.

Same here CB58. I’ve lived in Tennessee since 86, and I’ve enjoyed telling Vol fans how SEC 2OO1 Championship game was payback for being ROBBED by refs in 59 of back to back NC’s.
UT had won the NC in 1998, and a win against the Tigers would have had them in the NC game in the Rose Bowl. Matt Mauck ran between two future NFL All Pro DLs on Qb draws for my payback.

I thought that some guy claimed on here years ago that he went through the film reel and could disprove that guy's story. At the very least, I'd doubt that he would have run on the field like that mid-play, especially to signal the go-ahead TD against the team that he was rooting for.
I am unfamiliar with that argument, but I would discount it (and believe the fake ref story.) If you look at the 1:20 point of the below video, you can see that nobody seems to be standing on the far sideline between the 20 and 25. At 1:17, Cannon is breaking a tackle at the 20 and now the 'ref' is running on the field at the 22-23 yard line. If he were a real ref, why would he not be on the sideline and visible as the punt goes by?
I choose to believe.
