Problem here appears to be an unnecessary "quick call" and lack of communications. It's being reported that the R told the replay official that the crew on the field had the runner OB before losing the ball.

The replay official also has been quoted as saying that he was told the call was that the runner was down OB at the 1 before the fumble.

If the runner is ruled down before the fumble then it's my understanding based on the NCAA replay rules that the call can't be changed by replay. So the error here was not related to replay but to the actual call on the field.
