No. 2 Notre Dame suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday night, falling 28-24 to No. 8 BYU, with some controversy at the end of the game.

Notre Dame had the ball on BYU’s 8-yard line with first-and-goal, aiming to win the game with four seconds left in the fourth quarter. Quarterback CJ Carr threw a pass into the end zone to wide receiver Jaden Greathouse, but defenders kept him from securing the catch. No pass interference was called on the play, even though there could have been. The clock ultimately ran out on the play, resulting in BYU winning the game. However, that outcome shouldn’t have happened.

Notre Dame Should’ve Had One More Second Left to Run a Play

A replay showed the ball fell incomplete with one second left on the clock, so the officials should have added one more second to the game. The officials didn’t even seem to consider adding a second back on the clock, but of course, social media noticed that one second should have been added.

NFL insider Ari Meirov posted on X with the replay of the ball falling incomplete with one second left and said Notre Dame should have had one second left for the final play.

If the officials had added one second to the clock, a lot could have changed, and Notre Dame might have won.
