BYU Outlasts No. 2 Notre Dame Following Last-Second Controversy
Freeman said Notre Dame’s final fade route was a reaction to BYU pressure after officials declined to call pass interference on the incomplete pass.
- BYU defeated Notre Dame 28-24 on Saturday night at LaVell Edwards Stadium, ending the Fighting Irish's 16-game win streak. Head coach Marcus Freeman's squad fell to 6-1 on the season.
- The Cougars maintained a 21-10 halftime edge before the Fighting Irish rallied to a 24-20 fourth-quarter lead. Cougars quarterback Bear Bachmeier then connected with Walker Lyons for a 7-yard touchdown pass at the 1:47 mark to reclaim the advantage.
- On the final play, Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr targeted receiver Jaden Greathouse near the end zone. Officials did not throw a flag for potential defensive pass interference despite significant contact from cornerback Evan Johnson.
- Analysts Matt Austin and Terry McAulay stated the play "warranted a flag" due to Johnson's contact. Kirk Herbstreit added, "I would have supported a DPI," criticizing the no-call that ended the comeback.
- Replay evidence suggests one second remained on the clock after the incomplete pass, which should have granted Notre Dame one final play. Officials declared the game over without reviewing the timing.
