Controversial Ending in BYU's Upset Over Notre Dame

In a surprising turn of events, BYU defeated No. 2 Notre Dame 28-24, but the game's conclusion has sparked controversy. On the final play, officials did not call what appeared to be defensive pass interference, and the game ended despite one second still showing on the clock.

The end zone clock and the stadium clock both indicated that one second remained after an incomplete pass. This oversight meant that Notre Dame missed a final opportunity to attempt to win the game.

This incident follows a previous controversial decision involving a replay review in Michigan that restored time on the clock. Critics argue that Notre Dame was unfairly denied a chance to compete for victory due to the officials' errors.
