Quick Links: Controversy in the Pac-12

It’s a busy day in Oregon State news, so here’s a quick breakdown of everything that’s happening.

Reports have emerged that in USC and Washington State’s game on September 21st, a Pac-12 official overruled a call on the field. The report, published by Yahoo News, states that Pac-12 executive Woodie Dixon overruled a call of targeting that had just occurred. Replay of the play appears to clearly show Washington State linebacker Matthew Tago lowering his head while USC quarterback JT Daniels establishes himself as down.

Dixon has no training as an official, but his opinion was given weight over both the officiating crew and the command center.
