I’m getting really frustrated with the lack of holding calls against Ohio State’s opponents when it comes to our defense. Whether it’s in our wins or our losses, it doesn’t matter who we’re playing—a Group of 5 team, a Power 4 team, a Big Ten bottom-feeder, or a solid Big Ten contender—they all seem to get away with holding our defensive line. It’s getting ridiculous.
I noticed that all the holding in the game yesterday and even though we were blowing them out it was infuriating. Then I remembered all the holding in the Michigan game, so I decided to look at holding calls against Buckeye opponents. Did you know the last holding call was against Marshall. That means we went a whole Big Ten season without an opponent getting called for holding.
