Two things can be true at the same time after Notre Dame’s loss to BYU

Notre Dame’s 28-24 loss to BYU on Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium left fans grappling with a bitter mix of frustration and injustice. The Fighting Irish struggled mightily in the first half, compounded by a series of costly mistakes that left them trailing by 14 points at halftime.

While Notre Dame’s defense showed late resilience, securing key stops in the second half, the damage had already been done—both on the field and in the final moments. The game’s most contentious play came on the final drive, where a blatant defensive pass interference call on Notre Dame’s end zone attempt sparked outrage.

The ball hit the ground with one second remaining, raising questions about whether the clock should have been allowed to expire before the call was made. Even if the defensive play was correct, the timing of the stoppage left many questioning whether the officials denied the Irish a final chance from the 6-yard line.
