Kirk Herbstreit theorized that the officials didn’t throw the flag because he was carrying out a fake.Former NFL referee Terry McAulay believed that the play was also a clear targeting.

Instead, Indiana had to settle for a field goal on that drive.Those were the only points that Indiana would score in the first quarter. While they held the Hurricanes scoreless, they could have had a bigger lead heading into the second quarter of play. GettyIndiana Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignettin talks to the media.
