Big 12 Admits Costly Error Denied Notre Dame Final Chance as ESPN, NBC Rules Experts Flag Controversial BYU Finish

The Big 12 has officially acknowledged a officiating blunder that prematurely concluded the BYU-Notre Dame matchup. Despite the 28-24 final score favoring BYU, the conference admitted that replay officials failed to identify one remaining second on the clock following the final incomplete pass.

This oversight denied Notre Dame a potential final opportunity to score. Both Mike Pereira and Terry McAulay criticized the decision, asserting that the game should have continued for one additional play.

The conference has pledged to evaluate its end-of-game protocols before upcoming contests.
