I know that this was "discussed" previously.

But there's no fire like a rekindled fire.  :biggrin:

There was one run in the 4th quarter where they pulled a jersey 6-9 inches - I glanced up to see the ref staring right at it, no call :dunno: :wtf:

The refs were horrible. barnett was held all night, no call. The fumble on Oklahoma - very much a missed call. Pass int on Malone missed

Lewis is correct that every team holds, and holds go uncalled.

But the missed holds Saturday night were so blatant that I would be willing to claim bias by the officials...except that it was an SEC crew.  :dunno: But there's no way you miss holds that blatant, repeatedly, unless you're ignoring them or incompetent.

SEC officials = incompetent. In an attempt to appear unbiased and not be blamed, they ignored holding. But they always ignore holding for the higher ranked team. And do not give me that, but they are human crap.  If you are human, you are supposed to have eyes and be able to see. SEC officials are blind.

On one of Hurd's long runs our guy clearly held an OU defender, too.  Refs just weren't calling it.

I noticed the jersey hold on 50 live. It was pretty blatant, but unfortunately no ref was nearby

#71 held about 75% of the plays

Every time a DE got up field it seemed they were held in some form.

The refs were letting them play, a bit too much for my tastes, and I'm pretty laissez faire. Our guys should have learned, and reciprocated.

Well, to be fair, our pick at the end of the first half might have been the result of a little PI and earlier in the 2nd quarter AJ flat held one of their receivers going by him.

I thought we were early defensing 2 or 3 of their passes, none of which drew a flag. Admittedly I have not rewatched the game, but the no-calls seemed to go both ways. They just had more stuff to not call IMHO.
