Wallace came up with the ball. The play was nullified by the illegal blitz ruling and the Tuskers went on to score the go-ahead touchdown one play later. "What happened was Las Vegas had eight or nine guys with a hand on the ground instead of the four they're allowed to have,” said UFL vice president of officiating operations Larry Upson in an interview with Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review Journal. “But this rule only applies on pass plays, and this was clearly not a pass play."
