Are they pretty much done calling holding in SEC play?

Our rush end beat the tackle so many times, too many to count almost. I say holding but you know it if you were watching the game.

Im sure we held too at times, im just saying when its blatant, i scream at the TV even when its LSU doing it you know it needs to be called lol.

I feel they call it 1-2 times a game on each team. They could call it a lot more often but that would get annoying. Our RT got away with a pretty bad one in the 2nd half

It’s only called if it turns a defender or you see the jersey separate from the pads at this point. Poor Will Anderson was bear hugged all night against Mizzou. I don’t notice when Bama holds, though I’m sure it happens and is a rallying cry of a particular fanbase here.

What isn’t debatable is that Alabama is dead last in the NCAA over the last 6 seasons in holding calls against. Meaning opposing offenses are called for holding fewer times against Alabama‘s defense than every other team in the county. That’s an odd stat to me when you consider the talent that’s poured through there, and why I don’t mind the tears about “bammers holding all the time.” It more than evens out.

Fact is we have incompetent refs in college and professional football. You’ve got guys in their fifties and sixties trying to keep up with elite athletes that have only gotten bigger faster and stronger in the last two decades. They can’t do it, and they aren’t going to throw a flag every play. Only the egregious fouls get called- that and the hard hits

It’s every game now. And if you’re the higher ranked team they call it even less. No one should be surprised by the lack of hold calls by now.

It seemed like they weren't calling anything last week. Maybe the conference put out the word that it was going to be so sloppy anyway to just let them play?

Here's a thread I've never seen before, a L1U fan complaining about holding.

What's obvious is that LSU should have tried holding more. You guys gave up 7 sacks to a defense that features 2 stars and walkons.

Go back and watch LSU - Auburn last year. LSU loses if the refs called holding, even a little.

Apparently Florida is exempt from holding calls. Their OL holds like a desperate woman.

If they didn’t call holding on LSU’s offensive line last weekend those officials ain’t gonna call holding. Our guys held too, but get real with this shite. Your OL got their arse whipped all game And gave up 7 sacks. Ours was responsible for holding a qb upright for 623 yards. Who do you think got beat more times and needed to hold? That’s a rhetorical question.

If they see something remotely like it from TAMU, they will call it.
