Big 12 admits replay review erred in awarding BYU first-quarter TD vs. ASU
The Big 12 acknowledged that replay incorrectly awarded BYU a first-quarter touchdown in the Cougars’ 27-20 win over Arizona State. After BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier fumbled near the goal line and Sione Moa recovered, the conference said the correct ruling should have been BYU ball at the 2-yard line for third-and-goal, not a touchdown.
Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham criticized the decision by the conference’s replay operations center after the loss, while saying the on-field officials were not responsible. The error marked the third consecutive week a BYU game had featured a questionable officiating decision.
