These guys are coming from the NAIA, Division II and III ranks. The speed of this game is nothing like they see at Shitburg State on Saturday afternoons.

That being said, it's fair to criticize the people that put them there. And it's warranted in this case.

And it's FAR FROM ONE GAME. Last night was an epic meltdown as well and there have been numerous other examples of horrible officiating throughout the first 3 weeks of the season.
