BYU upset No. 2 Notre Dame 28-24 after a controversial clock ruling at the end of Saturday night's game in PROVO, Utah. The Big 12 confirmed that one second should have been placed back on the clock when the ball hit the ground on CJ Carr's final pass to Jaden Greathouse, which was ruled incomplete. The incorrect call ended the game, denying the Fighting Irish one final play.
"Following the Big 12's review of the final play, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew," the conference said in a statement. "The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games."
Since Notre Dame is an FBS independent, its games are officiated by the opposing league. Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman described the final play as "chaos" but was not asked about the clock issue. Notre Dame-BYU marks the second high-profile clock controversy this season, following a similar incident in which Western Michigan appeared to defeat Michigan before the Big Ten ruled one second remained.
