SEC: Memphis' gamebreaking punt return TD vs. Mississippi State shouldn't have counted due to officiating errors

Memphis receiver Calvin Austin III pulled a fast one on Mississippi State and the officiating crew.

Austin returned a punt 94 yards for a touchdown to extend Memphis' fourth-quarter lead to 11 points in the Tigers' wild 31-29 win over the Bulldogs on Saturday.

Austin's return came after Mississippi State players thought they had downed the ball inside the Memphis 10. Just watch how it all unfolded. We'll explain after the video.

The Mississippi State players around the ball thought that the play was simply going to end and officials were going to blow the play dead.
