BYU defeats Notre Dame amid clock error controversy in Provo

On October 17, 2026, No. 8 BYU overcame No. 2 Notre Dame 28-24 at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The game ended controversially when a pass attempt by Notre Dame's CJ Carr fell incomplete with four seconds remaining, but replay showed one second should have remained on the clock. Following the incident, the Big 12 acknowledged that the replay officiating crew mistakenly cleared the play, leading to an incorrect end to the game. This marks the second significant clock error in college football this season, raising questions about the current officiating protocols. The conference has committed to a complete review of end-of-game officiating processes.
