Notre Dame fans up in arms after controversial PI no-call ends BYU game

Notre Dame Fighting Irish suffered a controversial 28-24 defeat to Brigham Young University in their first loss of the season, with a pass interference call sparking outrage among fans. BYU managed to survive a late surge by the Irish to secure the win, but the controversial no-call on alleged pass interference by BYU defender Evan Johnson remained fresh in the minds of fans.

Johnson was seen grabbing Notre Dame star Jaden Greathouse for an extended period, preventing him from making a play on the ball. Several fans expressed their disbelief that such an incident would not be ruled as pass interference, with some suggesting that the referees wanted to quickly conclude the game. The loss left Notre Dame's record at 6-1, while BYU maintained their No. 2 ranking, and the Fighting Irish now face the challenge of regrouping ahead of their Halloween game against Navy.
