Utah beat Baylor 20-13 on Saturday to improve to 2-0, but the final play of the game was deemed controversial.
Utah had scored with 17 seconds left to go up 20-13. Baylor got the ball back and Sawyer Robertson completed two passes to Hal Presley to take the ball to the Utah 22 with a second left.
On the final play of regulation, Utah sent seven players on a blitz, which forced Robertson to throw up the ball into the end zone for Ketron Jackson Jr..
Jackson and Miles Battle got physical with each other while battling for the ball, but nothing was called. That allowed Utah to win the game.

On the game's final play, Utah's Miles Battle appeared to be, well, battling with Baylor WR Ketron Jackson, Jr. Officials, however, made no call either way, and the game concluded. pic.twitter.com/lG3Yu28EIl

So what’s the controversy? Many people thought Utah got away with pass interference on the play.

That was 10000000% Pass Interference on Utah.

That was an obvious pass interference on Utah in the end zone on last play. No question but no way officials will ever call that no matter how blatant.

That absolutely should have been pass interference on Utah.

What do you think? Should pass interference have been called? Since it wasn’t, Baylor is now 0-2.
