The Big 12 has acknowledged that officials improperly ended Saturday night's college football game between BYU and Notre Dame, according to reports from ESPN and NBC Sports. Both outlets reported that the conference determined one second should have remained on the clock, which would have allowed Notre Dame an opportunity to run one final play.
According to a league statement cited by NBC Sports, an incomplete pass by Notre Dame on first and goal hit the ground with time still remaining. The conference explained that the replay officiating crew erroneously confirmed the conclusion of the contest, sealing BYU's 28-24 upset over the second-ranked Fighting Irish. NBC Sports reported that the Big 12 committed to conducting a comprehensive evaluation of its late-game officiating procedures prior to the next round of games.
