Was the targeting call on the Nicholls player called on the field initially?
There was no announcement by the Crew of a penalty until AFTER the review.
The Cox play had a flag thrown, an announcement of a targeting penalty, and then the review and overturn.
I guess I’m wondering if the booth initiated the review on the first.

Yeah that was frustrating. Just watched the replay, the Nichols player dipped his head at the last minute. Not a vicious hit but certainly illegal, seemed like he put himself in jeopardy there. The NDSU Athletics youtube highlights catch a few of the questionable penalties.
I don't think it was targeting. He made it suspect by lowering his head. Players need to stop doing that. It's as much a risk for the hitter as the hitter. But there was no element of targeting (i.e. crouch, launch) and he wasn't attempting to punish the opponent. He did lower his helmet though and there was contact with the crown. He avoids the opportunity for the replay official to mage that mistake if he keeps his head up.

It got to the point yesterday that every time we had a great play I just automatically assumed a flag would be thrown. Even Phil made the comment on the radio that it seemed like the SoCon refs were tired of the Bison winning all the time and were trying to make a southern team look good.
