Marcus Freeman won't blame Big 12 officiating in controversial loss: 'Not what we do'

Following a 28-24 defeat to BYU, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman declined to criticize the officiating despite the Big 12 admitting to a clock management error on the final play. The conference confirmed that the replay crew incorrectly cleared the game despite one second remaining on the clock when the ball hit the ground.

Additionally, no penalty was assessed for potential defensive pass interference during the final incomplete pass from CJ Carr to Jaden Greathouse. Freeman emphasized that his team takes full responsibility for the outcome rather than seeking excuses.

The loss narrows the path for the Fighting Irish, who now look ahead to a matchup against Navy at Gillette Stadium on October 31.
