It's football you can call holding on every single play..

Yes, I immediately said this live watching it in TS, but the guy he held would have never made a play.

Yes.

But USC blocked in the back on their kick return TD so it all evens out in the end.

no, he was employing the Bama Block which has been deemed legal by the SEC, basically it involves holding onto the opponents jersey until the runner passes you by, then releasing.

Ritter would have smelled it a mile away.

As we have been taught by Alabama fans ad nauseum, it's not holding if it isn't called.

I thought he was when I saw it live. And more so when I saw the replay.

No. "Holding" is a penalty. There was no penalty called on the play.

Yes. But the ref was trying to avoid the LF7 carnage.

EVERY play could be holding now with the agreed rules. Whether he was or not was whether or not it was called. Sadly it seems to be more preference by refs than consistent ruling.

Holding inside the shoulder pads is basically legal, as long as the holding is not the specific reason of a severe restriction of movement. The USC guy was clearly getting the life blocked out of him, and tried to rip his arm away. Then Hawkins released. Perfect block

You cant tell from that angle. As a defender, you never offer your shoulder to a block. Once the blocker gets his hands under those pads and lifts up, you cant go anywhere until you are able to free yourself, which he did after Fournette had blown by him. Now, show a video from the side of that play and we will know for sure if he was or wasn't holding.
