‘Fire the People in the Review Room,’ ‘This Is Shady’ — CFB Fans React to Big 12 Admitting Mistake Over BYU’s Controversial TD vs. Arizona State

Following a twenty-seven to twenty victory over Arizona State, BYU improved its record to seven wins and one loss overall, alongside four wins and one loss within conference play. The result kept the Cougars positioned well for potential inclusion in the College Football Playoff.

However, attention quickly turned to a disputed ruling during the matchup when quarterback Bear Bachmeier fumbled on a second-and-goal attempt from the one-yard line. Teammate Sione Moa initially gathered the loose ball and crossed the goal line, leading to a sequence where officials first stopped the action, then confirmed the fumble recovery, and finally awarded a touchdown.

The Big 12 subsequently released a postgame statement admitting the replay official erred in granting the score, clarifying that the whistle should have halted play at the two-yard line. This latest controversy follows an earlier disputed finish in BYU's win against Notre Dame, compounding widespread criticism directed at officiating standards within the conference.
