that's how long Alabama's offensive line has gone without a holding penalty.

3. I'm an old lineman myself |
|
who probably got tagged with a hold every single game I played, even when I wasn't guilty of it.
For 5 lineman to go that many quarters without a hold is well, odd. I admire their record of no holds, but in just about every play I see in the pro's, and the few college games I watch there are holds almost all the time.

4. I hadn't looked at it that way |
|
I figured if they were going to be called for one, and there really was a conspiracy with the SEC refs, then surely the Big East refs would have made the right call.

5. Each ref is different, we had refs |
|
in HS that the minute you went under the shoulder pads and pushed them this way/that way, the flag would come out, and we had ref's were we could pretty much just pick/toss defenders and barely get a flag. Its a bell curve of sorts for holding.
Personally, I'd just wrap all O lineman's hands with boxers gloves so its impossible for them to hold(unless they are pinning Defender on ground). The holding call is very touch/go, and it amazes me that Bama went that many quarters without a holding call, hell thats almost 10 games. I just think its odd, never heard about that stat until tonight...

6. while I'm a football fan (college) |
|
I never played, so I didn't realize holding calls were this subjective. Thanks!
