I look for holding when we're on defense, not offense and will say we probably did hold every now and then. I did notice BG holding a bunch of times too. come on, 4 quarters and 2 OTs and does anyone really think that only one person held the entire game? I don't. They didn't call alot of holding on you and they probably didn't call alot of holding on us, that is one of those very strange calls especially since anyone can tell you that holding happens on just about every play.
I agree 100%. Much like you, I don't really pay much attention to the pass rush of the opposing team, so I can't comment too much on our O-line's blocking. I assume that Derrick Markray holds several times a game when a guy gets by him and he's not quick enough to catch up. I have a feeling that the other linemen hold just as much as the next guy.

They only called holding on the lineman who was trying to block Parks once. He was held on nearly every play. Parks had his motor really going on Tuesday night. First time since OU that he has been that active IMO. Give both lines credit, though. If the officials aren't going to call it, then you might as well use it to your advantage.

I can't stand Toledo, but I really hope you guys can get into a bowl and win one for our conference to save a little face for this year.

well holding goes on every game, a lot of it, if they call of it, the game will never end.
and from my view, I didn't think Omar got in on the first td...he obviously dropped the ball, but i don't think he picked it up and got it across the line...likewise, I don't believe Toledo got in on their last td of regulation. I haven't seen a second view of it, but from my live view, it didn't look like it to me, or anyone around me.
