A Big 12 replay official reviewed a controversial no-call in Texas’ victory against Notre Dame and determined it was not targeting, according to the league’s supervisor of officials.
Texas defensive back DeShon Elliott’s helmet-to-helmet collision with Notre Dame’s Torii Hunter Jr. left the wide receiver lying motionless in the end zone for several minutes Sunday evening. The officiating crew did not throw a flag. With a rule change implemented for this season, targeting can be called by replay review officials, but it wasn’t.
Walt Anderson, the Big 12’s supervisor of officials, said the replay officials did not believe the hit rose to the level of applying a call from the booth.
