EAST LANSING, MI - SEPTEMBER 14: Merlin Robertson #8 of the Arizona State Sun Devils celebrates after a missed field goal by the Michigan State Spartans as time expired in the game at Spartan Stadium on September 14, 2019 in East Lansing,The Pac-12 Conference acknowledged an officiating error on the last play of Arizona State's 10-7 victory at Michigan State on Saturday. The conference said Sunday night that the Sun Devils should have been called for leaping on Michigan State's missed field goal attempt as time expired. "An Arizona State defensive player took a running start and leapt over the kicking team's line in an attempt to block the kick," the Pac-12 said in a statement. In this case, it would have been administered as half the distance to the goal and Michigan State would have been provided one untimed down." Turns out Michigan State should've had a 3rd try at the game-tying field goal.
