USD has the choice of the illegal touching spot (end zone so touchback) or where it ultimately became dead (2 yard line). They obviously take the touchback option.
In this case it doesn't matter if he ruled possession or illegal touching because the result is the same. Since he hesitated in guessing he ruled touching. If he dropped a bean bag in the end zone that would confirm it.

I think confirmed by the beanbag, with an assist from the toe wedge.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
