The crew was clearly tested. There were many very close plays and they obviously made the incorrect call on the field in a few instances as their calls were overturned. But the same thing happens with "big time" conference crews as it does with NFL crews. As for the instant review process....perhaps it was a function of the guys never having worked a game with that process or perhaps it was due to the review official who was not even from the SunBelt.
Preventing the end of game mess??? How in the heck could the officials have done that?!?!?!?!
From what we could see on TV it appeared the crew was mechanically sound and in the right place to make calls.
