The Critical Sequence
Oregon trailed 17-9 late when it connected on a 44-yard touchdown pass to Evan Stewart with 2:16 remaining. The Ducks then attempted a two-point conversion run that fell short, but a personal foul facemask penalty against UCLA gave them another chance from a new spot.
The Spotting Error
Officials placed the ball for the second try at half the distance to the goal measured from the original line of scrimmage. The correct placement should have used the spot where the initial run ended instead. UCLA stopped Jordon Davison short on the subsequent attempt, preserving the 17-15 victory.
League Statement
The Big Ten confirmed the incorrect spotting on Sunday and noted it has reached out to the game officials. The conference added that it will keep stressing proper enforcement of the rules in future contests.
