Hightower's pads are being yanked in the wrong direction. Edries is being bear-hugged from behind. No flag. I get that--in a vacuum--refs don't want to throw flags that affect the end of the game. But this is USC we're talking about, who get every questionable flag ever, and the refs earlier that game decided to change the rule of football and have a "do-over" of the end of the 2nd quarter AFTER halftime. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in football.
