dumbass penalties cost us as much as anything - woulda coulda shoulda, but cut out a half dozen particular penalties and we could be sitting at 4-0 or 3-1 at the worst.
The holding penalties are not mistakes. They're being coached to hold on every down. Record the games and re-watch them for holds. Myles Garrett was being egregiously held even on the play where he caused the fumble.
The thought process is that the occasional holding call is better than taking sacks or having your RB tackled in the backfield. And it's not necessarily a bad strategy because the refs will allow for a certain amount of holding and won't blow every single one. A few holding penalties is better than losing 5, 10 yards again and again and again and having the QB wind up injured. So Arkansas is coached to hold until they get called, back off for a while, and then start holding again.

Yes, there are holds (both offensively and defensively) within the trench on every play.
I am talking about the unnecessary holds that are away from the play though - a TD called back for holding the punter of all fricking things, another hold 20 yards away from the ball - stupid holds like that.
And not all the penalties I'm talking about are holds, the very questionable 'late hit' on the QB by Loewen for example. Even the announcers pronounced that a bad call on TV.
