I don't think that is in the rules, I have seen multiple horse collars called when the hand was not inside the jersey/pads

Was there with my relatively large, adult son. 2nd row from the top, N, end zone. Clearly witnessed it from behind actual play. We were sitting amongst numerous Auburn fans. [Using my cousin's (AU alum) tickets] Their fans began booing when our fans expressed their dissatisfaction for no HC call...at which my son stood up and shouted "STFU".
It immediately grew quite. lol

In terms of blatant officiating malpractice, that no call is toward the top of the list. It's up there next to Myles Garrett getting tackled virtually every play against Auburn years later. Even the announcer was saying they were getting away with major holding.

An both of those are right up there with the no call when Donald Sloan drove in at the end of the game against ucla and the bruin player's hand was clutched around slosn's forearm in midshot

Nothing to see here. Just keep that blue blood team in the tournament.
