Did Conference USA officials miss a La Tech player stomping on a UTEP player?​

The CBS Sports cameras caught what the Conference USA officials couldn't in UTEP's Sun Bowl game with Louisiana Tech on Friday night: Bulldogs' linebacker Brevin Randle egregiously stomping on the neck of UTEP offensive lineman Steven Hubbard.

It happened on a pileup as players were chasing a fumble from Miner quarterback Jake McNamara. Randle got up off the ground before Hubbard, partly because he pushed him down by his head as leverage, then kicked him in the head/neck area. Hubbard visibly writhed in pain after the play.

It was caught on camera, but an official on the spot was looking at the pile where the ball was and didn't see the stomp. UTEP coach Dana Dimel may have, but his screams for justice went unanswered and Louisiana Tech came away with the ball. He also might have been asking for a targeting call, which likewise wasn't called.
