USC/Utah ending

I don't know if this has already been posted.

The last play of the Southern Cal/Utah game last Saturday was a blocked FG by the Trojans. USC picked up the blocked kick and ran it in for a touchdown. A flag was thrown on the play because the USC bench, including Lane Kiffen came running onto the field during the runback.

The refs huddled for a few minutes, disallowed the score and said by rule the penalty is declined. The final score was USC 17-Utah 14. The PAC-12 today said the refs got the ruling the wrong and USC was awarded the TD resulting in a 23-14 final.

I don't know all the details, but the big hoopla is coming from Vegas because the line was USC minus 8 1/2.

Does anyone know why the score was changed and what the PAC-12 gave as the reason?
