The Pac-12 Conference, which has a long history of missteps when it comes to officiating football and basketball games, was left reeling Thursday from yet another embarrassment.
The commissioner made his comments a day after Yahoo Sports, citing an internal Pac-12 document, reported that a “third party” interfered with a call during the Sept. 21 game.
It was late in the third quarter when Washington State linebacker Logan Tago drove his helmet into JT Daniels after the USC quarterback had taken a knee. The play drew a flag for roughing the passer and was immediately reviewed for targeting.
