Sitting in the stands, we see it all the time. Blatant, obvious holding going on and its never called. Very frustrating for the crowd.
Its been going on forever though. Imagine they had called holding on Miami just a few times in the Fiesta Bowl. What they were doing wasn't really holding as much as it was Sexual Assault.

One answer might be easier tear-aways for linemen for a couple of games. Heck, let 'em change five or six times but leave the opposition with jersey in their hands a few times and it will get called.

How about these jerseys? They look like they'd be pretty tight and hard to get a hold of.

I think Brady learned that trick when he was in Michigan. You don't see many holding calls against Michigan. Maybe its just me watching the game with scarlet-colored glasses, but I can usually see some pretty good take-down moves that would score big in wrestling that aren't called.

Holding Calls--Penalty Discussion (Merged)
I didn't know where to put this, so I figured I'd start a new thread...
It seems that over the past few seasons, the Buckeyes don't seem to get the holding calls that they deserve. I remember making a stink (i.e. bitching) about it during the 2002 season, and sometimes I feel like I haven't stopped complaining about it since. Gohlstin, Patterson, and Pitcock were tackled on numerous plays this past weekend without flags. I don't get it. Anyways, that brings me to my question:
What's going on with the OSU holding calls (multiple choice)?
1. This a result of me being unable to take off my scarley glasses. All fans moan about their d-linemen getting held on almost every play. By the way, I was watching the MNF game last night with a Steelers fan (I know, I know, but he's still a friend...) and he sounded a lot like I do.
2. Refs tend to let things slide a little more when a d-line is dominating an o-line. It seems that since 2002, Ohio State has had very quick DE's, which can obviously lead to "take downs" by offensive tackles.
3. In an attempt to speed up and add offense to the game, the officials are calling less holding across the board.
4. This all just part of my imagination.
