Big 12 Admits Referee Mistake in Notre Dame vs. BYU
The conference said time remained on the final play, leaving Notre Dame one snap short of a possible tying touchdown.
- The Big 12 acknowledged on Sunday that time remained on the clock during Saturday's 28-24 BYU victory over Notre Dame, stating the replay officiating crew "incorrectly cleared" the game to end.
- Trailing 28-24, Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr engineered a drive to the BYU 8-yard line, but his final pass to Jaden Greathouse fell incomplete as the clock expired, denying the Fighting Irish a final play.
- Fox officiating analyst Mike Pereira said the replay "did clear" the game to end, while former NFL official Terry McAulay argued replay should have checked the stadium clock. Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman called it "chaos."
- Following the mistake, the Big 12 announced it will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process before next week's games, though the error does not change the recorded 28-24 result.
- This incident marks the second high-profile clock ruling this season; the Big Ten previously ruled a stadium clock error allowed Michigan to attempt a game-winning "Hail Mary" against Western Michigan in Week 1.
