Yahoo report: Tago’s targeting call in USC overruled by “third party”

In the Washington State Cougars’ game against the USC Trojans, we all know about the missed targeting penalty Porter Gustin laid on Gardner Minshew II. Largely forgotten though is the late hit from Logan Tago on USC quarterback JT Daniels to end the third quarter; a hit that looked like it could targeting and was reviewed but ultimately, Tago was not penalized. However, according to a new report from Yahoo Sports, the person who overturned the call was not a Pac-12 referee or replay official: it was the conference’s senior vice president for business affairs Woodie Dixon.
