Report: 'Third party' in Pac-12 replay command center influenced non-targeting call

An instant replay booth report obtained by Yahoo Sports said a "third party" "did not agree" with the booth's and the command center's decision to call targeting in the USC Trojans-Washington State Cougars game on Sept. 21, resulting in targeting not being called.

The play in question happened late in the third quarter of the Trojans' 39-36 victory when Washington State linebacker Logan Tago made helmet-to-helmet contact with USC quarterback JT Daniels after Daniels had taken a knee and was in a defenseless position.

Officials on the field called Tago for roughing the passer with no targeting before it was sent to the replay booth and the command center in San Francisco for further review.
