That was the first thing I said.

First one's obvious.

Second one I thought "I don't know about that," but keep in mind, we're seeing it at 3/4 speed. It may have looked worse at regular speed, and he may have led with his head, we don't know.

And the third one looked to me like two guys making a play for the ball.

But, you're right - at the freshman level, you get inexperienced officials. Since I usually have the position of the official in question, I cringe but I also feel for him. I hope it's just a case of inexperience.
