the officials did not perform as well as they should have

This is the only part in that wall of text that matters. It's absolutely laughable you would use the TV audience as a defense of the officials in the situation. It doesn't matter what they think. The ref was not confused by the action of the QB. He blew the play dead when his knee touched like he was supposed to.

How many times have we seen an official run to get the ball spotted near the end of a game ?? They are trained to use a sense of controlled urgency (i know officials in 3 different conferences) when getting the ball ready for play near the end.... These officials did none of this, and for some reason didnt even allow the ball to be snapped once they placed it down

If you're going to criticize my post at least make sense. I compared the confusion of the TV audience to the players (referring to the defensive players), who have a harder time seeing what's going on, and not the officials. Thus when the ASU player pounced on the ball and held it for a few seconds, the official did not deem that an egregious attempt to delay the game. Again the point of my post is that under a tight time frame Wisconsin relied on the efficient placement of the ball, which went wrong IMO because of a combination of the QB's confusing downing of the ball, and a minor mistake of the official over the ball, so I don't feel any sympathy for Wisconsin
