For the first time this season, Notre Dame needed something big to happen late.

Maybe even without the officials helping out, Arizona would have come out of Autzen Stadium with a win. However, their 31-24 victory over Oregon didn’t feel quite right with two terrible calls on their big winning drive, highlighted by a unsportsmanlike conduct on Tony Washington, meant that the Wildcats play spoilers to the Ducks’ ambitions a second year in a row.
