I was at that game, and when they didn't review that play, I wasn't sure 
if it was reviewable per the rules they've set up. But looking at the 
instant replay rules at the Big 12 site (at 
http://www.big12sports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/footbl-instant-replay
.html), it's possible that both were valid reasons to review.

Plays that MAY be reviewed with the use video replay:
1. Plays governed by sideline, goal line and end line:
a) Scoring plays, including a runner breaking the plane of the goal line.
b) Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted at sideline, goal line and end 
line.
c) Runner/receiver in or out of bounds. 
d) Recovery of loose ball in bounds. 
2. Passing Plays:
a) Pass ruled complete/incomplete/intercepted in the field of play and 
end zones.
b) Touching of a forward pass by an ineligible receiver. 
c) Touching of a forward pass by a defensive player. 
d) Quarterback (passer) forward pass or fumble (if ruled incomplete, the 
play is finalized). 
e) Illegal forward pass or illegal handing beyond the line of scrimmage. 
f) Illegal forward pass or illegal handing after change of possession. 
g) Forward or backward pass thrown from behind the line of scrimmage. 
3. Other detectable infractions:
a) Runner ruled not down. 
b) Forward progress errors with respect to first down. 
c) Touching of a kick. 
d) Number of players on field. 
e) Clock adjustments.
f) Fourth-down/try fumble plays. 
Plays that MAY NOT be reviewed with the use of video replay:
1. Holding.
2. Offside/encroachment.
3. Pass interference.
4. Personal fouls (e.g., late hits). 
5. Illegal blocks. 
6. Illegal formations.
