I also think the call was wrong, but this is not the officials' fault. This belongs to the league office, who locked out the league officials and had some prior arrangement ensuring that the "replacements" could not come from the next level down --major college conferences like the Big 10 and SEC.
I'd think last night's fiasco, and a few calls from the earlier two weeks, have strengthened the bargaining position of the regular officials.
The crews on the games are doing the best they can, but they appear to be out of their depth.

Div I refs are in the same union as the NFL refs, that's why they can't use them.
