Tyrann Mathieu question

Help a brother out...I have been racking my brain all morning.
Going back to the Cotton Bowl his freshman year against Texas A&M. I distinctly remember him ripping the ball from their big white TE and taking it to the house. Why then is he not credited with a TD in that game? I'm sure there is a good reason, but I have been racking my brain and can't remember what happened on that play.
I even watched a clip of the play this morning and it happened, but no record of it in the statistics book anywhere.
There was prob a penalty or he stepped out or his knee touched, but I can't recall. So help my brain!

Baker committed a BS penalty and it was called back.

Also, for anyone interested.
Tyrann Mathieu in 2011 led the team in 7 defensive statistical categories: tackles, forced fumbles, fumbles recovered, defensive TDs, passes broken up, passes defended, special teams TDs, and was tied for 2nd in INT's.
2010 as a freshman who only started in 1 game!
- 57 tackles
- 4.5 sacks
- 2 INT's
- 5 Forced fumbles
- 3 Fumble recoveries
So in a short two year span he has racked up:
- 4 TD's
- 4 INT's
- 11 Forced Fumbles
- 8 Fumble recoveries
- 133 tackles
- 6 sacks

Not bad for a player only recruited by Tennessee and LSU. The only other schools that showed interest were:
Florida Intl
Hampton
LA Monroe
Miami of Ohio
SMU
Southern Miss
Tulane

Somebody on here or on the SECr posted a UT board thread discussing how their staff had a hard on for him. It was a really great read since it was contemporaneous with his recruitment.

A real nice read in retrospect. Note that in camps he was "unbelievable" in pass coverage. He clearly sucks, is overrated, and was exposed, no?

He isn't the best at it though.
