I recognize my bias, I truly do, but I would really, really, like some of the blatant ass holding on game changing plays called. I get that if you ain't holding you ain't blocking, but come on.

[u/aggressivemisconduct → u/YanksFanInSF]

Or just one DPI call against dbs covering Jeremiah smith. For the best wr in the land, teams sure seem to play some perfect coverage

[u/the_giz → u/aggressivemisconduct]

He's got the LeBron effect applied to him. He's so strong and dominant that when he's interfered with he is barely affected in many cases. Refs see that and hold the flags because they deem it inconsequential where they'd otherwise see interference.

[u/_token_black → u/YanksFanInSF]

Holding is like penalties in playoff hockey, the later in the game, the less you’ll ever see it called

[u/Brian_lafeve34 → u/YanksFanInSF]

The Big Ten just doesn't call holding unless it's extremely blatent. It's every game

[u/God_of_Thunda → u/Brian_lafeve34]

That hold against us in the first quarter was non-existent

[u/ndamukongwall → u/YanksFanInSF]

I’d settle for a DPI on Smith at least once

[u/Bondorian → u/YanksFanInSF]

Seriously. Least we got some called our way cause that rarely happens to begin with

[u/No_Hospital_1965 → u/Bondorian]

We get one good call most games now, due to the fact that we went an entire year with no calls made for us. It is unheard of for every team we played never got a call for anything. Yet it happened. Now we get 1. This game I believe there were 2. Feck those officials !

[u/giggitybuck → u/YanksFanInSF]

Been like that for a couple years to be fair. There’s even a stat for it lol

[u/Dontsaveme → u/YanksFanInSF]

Hey you finally got one called at least

[u/FrostTroll69 → u/YanksFanInSF]

I wish i could upvote this 100 times

[u/CaptainHolt43 → u/YanksFanInSF]

Phantom false start, hold on Hinzman early on a big run. Missed a PI on Smith. The RTP at the end. 

[u/navybum → u/YanksFanInSF]

Same as the B1G Championship game last year, Indiana's OLine BLATANTLY holds on every single play and it's never called.

[u/MerchantofPermadeath → u/YanksFanInSF]

I'll meet you in the middle and say sure let's call that but let's also call half of the DPIs in Becker.

[u/No_Hamster6031 → u/MerchantofPermadeath]

Becker was wide open most of the game. Osu dbs need some extra work

[u/petataa → u/MerchantofPermadeath]

This game could've easily been 31-28 with some more PI flags.

[u/Tommybrady20 → u/YanksFanInSF]

We are biased but there definitely was a systematic, conscious decision back in the urban Meyer days to not give them the benefit of holding so teams learned to absolutely mug our DL

[u/DwayneBaconStan → u/YanksFanInSF]

Its the big10 dude, are you new

[u/Ctrl-Aust-Del → u/YanksFanInSF]

I read this as blatant ass-holding rather than blatant-ass holding. Gave me a good laugh.

[u/skullcutter → u/YanksFanInSF]

You’re not wrong. But lots of PI no-calls too

[u/AStormofSwines → u/YanksFanInSF]

Am I crazy for thinking Pettijohn got held on Indiana's final play? I thought for sure it was coming back, regardless of what happened in the endzone.

[u/the_giz → u/AStormofSwines]

He got badly held, yes. I thought that's what Marsh was reacting to when he was looking back with the surrender cobra (thought he saw a flag).

[u/thefloatingguy → u/YanksFanInSF]

Right like on the deep OSU TD? I think there were three guys who could have reasonably been called.

[u/GeorgeKettice → u/YanksFanInSF]

OSU brought a player down by the neck from behind in front of the ref during a punt return. Take off the OSU-Colored glasses and the refs just suck
