Big Sky acknowledges officiating error in final seconds of Idaho-Sacramento State game

By Canadian Press on November 17, 2025.

FARMINGTON, Utah (AP) — The Big Sky Conference said an officiating error was made in the final seconds of Sacramento State’s victory over Idaho on Saturday night.

In a statement posted to social media Monday, the conference said a pass that was ruled to be completed by Sacramento State with 12 seconds left was not correctly overturned by video review.

It went down as an 18-yard gain to the Idaho 2 to give Sacramento State first and goal. Quarterback Cardell Williams ran for the go-ahead touchdown on the next play to win 23-20.

The Big Sky said it acknowledges and regrets the mistake and has suspended multiple officials who worked the game in Sacramento, California.

The conference said it would have no further public comment on the matter.
