looks like Marcus Dowtin is the consensus from the different articles I've read.....
Only partially right. It was Dowtin first, then Curran who tried to make an ankle tackle to save the TD but also got blocked down by T-Bob.

[link=(pe. No.38 Dowtin was on UGA's left defensive side, with No.35 Curran to his right. T-Bob blocked Curran as Dowtin moved to fill the hole. Chuck Trucked him, and Curran could only manage a hand on Chuck's ankle. It caused a slight stumble, but Chuck was not going to be denied. TOUCHDOWN TIGERS!

I've watched that play approx 25 times, mostly in slo-mo and frame by frame, to see how the blocking performed. Dickson and Black made the hole bigger by driving No42, the D-end, out of the picture. T-Bob had to drive Curran to his left due to Curran's reaction at the snap. It led to a pancake on Curran who reached out with right hand to touch Chuck. But this was TACKLE football, and Curran FAILED.

Perfect analysis. This is correct. Those who say the announcers did not notice Curran not making the tackle, must have been listening to Hawthorn.
