BYU football scores questionable TD vs Arizona State after two reviews

Key Points:

• In BYU's game against Arizona State on Oct. 31, a controversial touchdown was awarded after officials overturned a fumble ruling, despite Fox rules analyst Mike Pereira stating the touchdown should not have counted because the ball cannot be advanced after the play is ruled dead.
• The play initially ruled as a fumble recovered by BYU at the 1-yard line was later changed to a touchdown after review, prompting Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham to argue the ball should not have been advanced, a point Pereira agreed with.
• The Big 12 Conference acknowledged the officiating error, clarifying that according to Rule 12-3-3-d-2, the ball belongs to the recovering team at the spot of recovery and any advance should be nullified.
• This incident marks the third consecutive week of questionable officiating involving BYU, following controversial calls in their games against UCF and Notre Dame, leading to criticism from analysts like Robert Griffin III about inconsistent officiating standards.
