Louisiana Tech Bulldogs linebacker Brevin Randle was spotted stomping on the back of UTEP Miners offensive lineman Steven Hubbard’s neck after a run by quarterback Jake McNamara in a game Friday night.
Fans on social media took issue with the incident, and UTEP coach Dana Dimel suggested after the game the referees didn’t see what happened.

“The referee, who I really admire, came over at halftime and very gentlemanly said that he missed it,” Dimel said, via the El Paso Times. “That’s part of the game. (The official) was a class act, I really appreciated that.”
