Our fan base has no idea what holding is

The crying about officials is embarrassing. LSU gets just as many non calls as Bama does but some choose to think there is some great conspiracy.

Yes we got screwed on the Peterson interception. I know I know.

You can hold in football but when you have a qb scrambling in the opposite direction and you don’t let the defender free that is holding.

---

They called it once, but it happened multiple times.

The only time I saw it was on the next play after it was called the first time. He did get mauled and it didn't get called.

Other than that, they were giving a little to both sides. LSU got away with more than Bama did.

quote:

---

An olineman having a firm grasp between the shoulder pads is NOT holding.

---

I didn’t see anyone calling this holding. They were hooking and tackling Key nearly every down which IS holding.

The rule is in the book to prevent players that have gotten beat from just grabbing and tackling someone to prevent the QB from getting sacked. That is the definition of what they were doing with the key speed rush

Don't need to down vote.

You've proved with this idiotic statement that you have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what holding is.

I think its safe to say, you didn't play ball growing up.

Arden got taken down at least twice that I saw. And it was not between the shoulders.

It was a takedown. One at bama’s goal line area and another deep in their territory.

ETA: I haven’t seen many saying we lost because of the no calls. Even watching the game and seeing key get held, I said to the group I was with, at least they’re not calling it on either side. Letting them play.

And then when we go inside and blitzed to the outside, he would just reach out and fall to the ground. It's an easy easy call for the ref, and it is the point of focus for the ref on passing plays post snap.

You want to see what holding is? Go watch the play in the end zone when Bama played TAMU. It was the play before the blocked punt.

What is holding is when the dlineman beats the tackle and the tackle has 1 arm on him as he is past. He hooks his shoulder and turns the dlinemen he is engaged with. Can’t do that and that’s what Cam Robinson did last year and what Bama does all the time. You cannot have a single arm trying to keep someone past you.
It was called correctly in the CFP last year on Robinson by refs from other conferences.

Tiger fan from bama land is another Saban ball sucker. Should be on the bama sight & give us a break!

The bama left tackle was holding all night, you dufus.

He tackled (not just held) Key 3-4 times that I noticed.

It was a fricking joke. I appreciate that you played some highschool football and all.....but you are wrong.
