The Big 12 Conference has acknowledged an officiating error following a controversial touchdown by BYU in their game against Arizona State. The admission comes after review of the play, which occurred during the December 6, 2025 matchup. The conference did not specify the exact nature of the error but confirmed it affected the outcome of the scoring play.
The announcement was reported by Yahoo Sports on November 1, 2026, citing EssentiallySports author Kamran Ahmad. The game in question featured the BYU Cougars and Arizona State Sun Devils, though a photo accompanying the report showed the Big 12 logo prior to a separate game between BYU and Texas Tech at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas.
