What went wrong on the long Jorts TD that was called back?

Freshman mistake.

Pickett had the back wide in man coverage. However both he and Cooley covered the TE that ran to the flat when Lagway rolled left, allowing the back to get behind everyone.

Luckily the holding penalty wiped out the TD.

Thanks so much. It really is a testament to the coaches and players how few mental mistakes the defense has made....AND they are mostly new to each other. They will only get better.

OL holding. Two holds on the play. Each tackled one of our DL.

Exactly, had he not held our guy Lagway would not have been able to make that throw

I don't think that is a given. Lagway is a strong, elusive, dude. Guillory ain't exactly quick. The hold occurred as Lagway was already starting to roll out of the pocket. He likely gets away from Guillory. Now, does that added bit of pressure keep him from seeing the RB behind everyone? Maybe. But, while a good call, I don't think it's a sack without the hold given Lagway's proven ability to escape pressure.
