Riverboat Gambler? If he sat across the table from me I would shoot his a** under the table cause you can bet he is cheating
You will not see any offensive lineman at LSU hitting a man's knees while engaged. F Hugh Nall, and F Chaz Ramsey. The officials had plenty of time to look at it and obviously he was not far back enough to be officially "Not on the line". You would have to look at the rule book to ascertain that.
Your point on officiating in general is well taken. However it appers that SEC refs have just given up on calling OLs for holding. A DL has to get practically get his jersey torn of or hauled down to get a flag this season.
if you've ever played WR, almost all of the time a receiver will ask the official on his side if he's OK on the line...the official will say yes or no... Most likely (assumption here, but based on past fact) that's why the official on the PROPER SIDE OF THE FIELD TO MAKE THAT CALL, DID NOT.
On AU's last TD drive, a play or 2 before the TD, Tyson Jackson was tackled by an O-lineman. No Call. Not calling that PI when Byrd was in the endzone, I'm ok with. let the guys play. That one was nothing worse than what is seen on most plays down field. You are correct, but at the time he checked off, Dickson was on the line. When Dickson left the line to go in motion, a receiver must take a step up to get on the line.
