Overview
- Late in the game on Saturday Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr threw to Jaden Greathouse on first-and-goal, the pass fell incomplete, and officials did not flag what replays showed as possible defensive pass interference.
- Television replays and the stadium 'bug' clock appeared to show one second remaining when the ball hit the ground, and broadcast rules analysts said replay should have checked whether to restore time for an extra play.
- Under current college football replay rules defensive pass interference on such plays is not reviewable while game-clock corrections are reviewable, so the on-field non-call stood and no second was added.
- The 28-24 result gives BYU a 6-0 record and its first AP top-10 win while Notre Dame falls to 6-1, a shift that changes poll positions and College Football Playoff calculations.
- Reactions have ranged from analysts calling the ending an officiating and replay failure to coach Marcus Freeman declining to blame the crew, and coverage now centers on replay policy, clock procedures, and whether league authorities will respond.
