And yet, Bama still never gets called for holding...


Bama was called for holding more times last year than all of our opponents combined in games played against us.

Our opponents were flagged for holding 2 times in 15 games... against one of the best front 7 defenses in college football history. Amazing.

Probably because y'all buttheads tackled the other teams' players before the ref had a chance to see anything

Bama gets called more because they hold more.

The "bama never gets called for holding" meme exists because the ratio of called/uncalled holds is very lopsided in favor of uncalled.

This isnt because of any ref bias in favor of bama, mind you. Refs just don't typically like to call holding and Bama takes advantage of that.
