Some Utah fans are upset that police responsible for security at the Fiesta Bowl used 50,0000-volt electric devices to zap fans trying to storm the field after the win.
Arizona State University spokesman Keith Jennings said the use of the weapons was in line with the department's use-of-force policy.
That policy allows officers to use electronic incapacitators anytime a subject is involved in a physical altercation with an officer.
Jennings said two individuals were arrested for scuffling with officers immediately after the game, but he told The Salt Lake Tribune he wasn't sure whether either was among the estimated 24 who were shocked by the devices after Utah's 35-7 win over Pittsburgh in Saturday's Fiesta Bowl.
