Arizona State went into Saturday’s game against Oregon controlling its destiny in the Pac-12 South. A win in Eugene and a win against rival Arizona would send the Sun Devils to the Pac-12 title game.

The Sun Devils ended up losing to Oregon, 31-29, and a questionable officiating decision is justifiably garnering much of the blame.

As ASU inched within two points of the Ducks with a Manny Wilkins touchdown, Herm Edwards elected to go for the tying two-point try. Wilkins found his receiver Frank Darby in the back of the end zone for the catch, but the officials ruled that Darby was out of bounds. Replays, though, appeared to show some green between Darby’s toe and the line.

Here’s another look. It was definitely close and likely a completed catch.

This photo, which wouldn’t have been available to the crew, offered a more definitive look:

It would certainly be one thing if the officials took a look at the play in review — with the benefit of full HD replay — and deemed that the call on the field should stand. But the Pac-12 crew didn’t even do that. The play wasn’t reviewed despite the ASU sideline asking for one.

That was just nonsensical, really.

All plays are supposed to be reviewed upstairs, and when a play like that has championship implications, you want to be 100 percent certain that the call is correct.

There would’ve been no downside in taking the extra few seconds to review that call. The Pac-12 instead opted to continue its trend of abysmal officiating.

With ASU’s loss, Utah won the Pac-12 South title.
