How many holding calls did Vanderbilt get yesterday? I felt like the calls were very lopsided in that category. I saw several blatant holds on Vanderbilt that were in clear view and never called.

Honestly, when you get a rep for being a high-penalty team, the refs see it all. And we have that. We were penalized more than 3 times as much as Vandy yesterday and for the season more than twice as much as our opponents ... and the reality is that while Vandy prolly got away with a few, so did we. It's just super frustrating to always be the team that is less fundamentally sound than our opponents, week after week.

Probably has something to do with our talent level. Get beat and you're more likely to resort to holding. Drives me crazy cause lots of times it wasn't necessary because it doesn't even effect the play.
