The Big 12 Conference has acknowledged an officiating error that incorrectly awarded a first-quarter touchdown to No. 8 BYU during its victory over Arizona State.
The admission came in a statement released Sunday, confirming that the touchdown should not have been counted. The conference did not specify the exact nature of the error or whether the outcome of the game would be affected.
BYU, ranked eighth in the nation, defeated Arizona State in the matchup. The Big 12 said it is reviewing the play and its officiating procedures to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
