Overview
- BYU defeated No. 2 Notre Dame 28-24 in Provo after a contested final play that ended the game, a result recorded on Saturday night.
- The Big 12 later acknowledged that replay review showed time remained when the last pass hit the turf but the conference declined to overturn the on-field outcome.
- Officiating analysts disagreed on what should have happened on the final snap, with Fox analyst Mike Pereira saying replay handling was disputed and ESPN analyst Matt Austin saying contact on the receiver warranted a defensive pass interference flag.
- Notre Dame’s failure to convert two red-zone chances, including a spike that was ruled a fumble on review late in the first half, was a decisive factor in the loss.
- The upset moves BYU to 6-0 and gives the program its highest-ranked win since 1990 while prompting calls for clearer replay clock protocols and reviews of how judgment calls are handled by replay centers.
