BYU took the lead with 1:47 left on Bear Bachmeier’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Walker Lyons, then stopped Notre Dame on a final snap from the 9-yard line to seal a 28-24 upset in Provo.
CJ Carr kept the Irish alive with late fourth-down conversions, but his last pass fell incomplete in the end zone; the finish also drew debate over whether BYU should have been flagged on the final play.
Bachmeier powered the Cougars to 6-0, throwing five touchdown passes while adding 45 rushing yards and two scores on the ground in the marquee top-10 matchup.
The win capped a chaotic Week 7 that also saw Auburn knock off No. 1 Georgia and Florida beat No. 7 Texas, reshaping the national rankings and playoff race.
