ND's OL has perfected the art of "Holding". I've noticed that the clutch the defenders jersey just below the shoulder pads but then release if they've held too long..... and then they re-clutch.

Sideline penalty?
The side judge took a shot in the ribs from the player. How’s that not a penalty?
Ref was way too wide…. He should have been in the middle of the white sideline. Ref was in bad position. I officiated for a zillion years

that kid was still in the white, which is a penalty, and he contacted the ref so they will call that every time, if he doesn't affect the ref it is likely a warning

He (the official) was still in the white. And as a former official, you well know that the white is a no-go zone for players. You don't want him wide enough to have a good enough angle to see what needs to be seen?

Looking ahead, if it's Notre Dame:
Blitz beaters
Quick slants
Go forward - no side to side
Slow developing plays behind the line of scrimmage won't work

Hold on, PI gives Georgia some hope

I'll never understand defenders who are usually in coverage that don't look for the ball. That and keeping the hands off would alleviate a ton of DPI penalties. These defenders continue to cost their teams by being lazy.

Ref was to far over to his right, yes there was contact and it is a flag…refs are taught to skirt the sideline. I am done with this…

Exactly! Just turn your head to the ball…no penalty. That kid just ran through the WR.

lol it is not difficult to tell that he is short, I think announcers watch the game on a phone screen or something

Am I alone in watching this game and thinking we beat both of these teams? ND looks like PSU, only with less top end talents like Warren and Carter.

I hope there comes a day sometime soon where coaches will get flagged more for coming onto the field nearly to the numbers to complain about calls. If that ever happens, Kirby Smart will lead the nation in yellow. Biggest f'ing complainer around.

Oh my goodness. Genius by ND.
Of course if that didn't work, Freeman would be the stupidest person on the planet (TIC).
