Ha ha! NICE! I didn't know anyone even tracked that stat.

His sack states would have been really good if the sh**ty refs would call holding. I never dogged Freedom b/c i could see him giving all every play and getting mugged horribly many times. Why does the B1G have the worst refs?? I ref H.S. football and our 5 man crew does a better job than their 8 refs. I know, i know, "its faster, etc" but with 8 refs it really isnt. You have your area to cover. Its not rocket science. When a guys hands are grabbing the outer shoulder area of an outside pass rusher, stretching the jersey, its a hold.

I remember a few years ago when Nebraska led the nation in sacks, I went back through all the holding calls called against our opponents and it was shockingly low. We had a fantastic defensive line with Suh, Crick and Allen & Ankrah, but there were hardly ever holds called on the O Lines they faced.

 

I don't know if this is a Nebraska thing, a Big Ten thing, or an anecdotal thing because I happen to watch this team more than others, but the lack of holding calls against our opponents is something I've noticed before.

[Toe]

That number will probably go down a lot this season...

[Huskers44]

Yeah I always did see our ends getting held. I don't know how we never really got any calls. Hope I wasn't the only one screaming at the TV "HOLDING".

I'm fairly certain that it's widely accepted that the B1G doesn't call holding as much as others. I don't know why that is.

[Moiraine]

Is there a site that keeps track of penalties in more detail than just the number called?

There must be a dude that lives in his moms basement that compiles all that.

They also let our receiver get tackled in the open field before the ball was in the air

[broganreynik]

I see our line get away with holding fairly frequently, but there doesn't seem to be nearly as many egregious whiffs like against our d-line.

 

Based on PFF's tweets, you'd think we had a stalwart defense last year. I'm pretty sure they've mentioned at least five of our starters as being in the top 2 or 3 in their metrics and what have you.

Matty?

[Hunter94]

the truth is, you could call holding on almost every play........the trend is to call the obvious, most flagrant violations. i think everyone is in the same boat.

Matty lives in Moiraine's tree. In her closet on the weekends.

He actually lead the country in hurries when he tied his left shoe in a double knot and had two fingers cut out of his right handed glove.
