Utah athletic director criticized the Big 12 officiating crew following BYU's 22-21 victory over the Utes on Saturday night. Mark Harlan expressed disappointment over what he perceived as controversial calls on the Cougars' winning drive. Harlan stated that the game was 'stolen' from Utah and voiced his displeasure with the officiating crew's professionalism.

During the final drive, Utah appeared to have stopped BYU twice on fourth down, only to have the plays nullified by officials. A crucial incomplete pass by BYU was negated due to a timeout call before the snap. Additionally, a sack by Utah was overturned when a holding penalty was called on Utes cornerback Zemaiah Vaughn.
