SIAP, but I was curious to hear from the coaches after the game. Found the videos at the links below.
ISU and ASU post game press conferences
- Thread starter PantherCyclone
- Start date
So annoying when people talk about number of penalties as if that is some kind of indicator of favoritism. There are reasons why ISU is the least penalized team, and "they're the favorites" is nowhere close to the top of them.
I agree however that holding penalty that took the touchdown off the board was debatable.

I think I've finally figured out when officials tend to actually call holding these days. It's when a defensive player beats a lineman and then the lineman holds on a split second too late so that they are holding from behind. It seems all manner of holding is allowed as long as you stay in front of a defensive player. Calls in this game were consistent with that including that call on ASU.
Debatable might still be too generous. The only thing I can think of is that the official threw a flag from an angle that we didn’t get to see on TV, and maybe there was more from a different angle.

Clearly, it was a hold. Our dtackle was restrained from behind when the qb went by him. That is a hold 9 out of 10 times. Especially, when it was so open.
You're quoting my post but it says flycy? Weird. And yeah, that holding call appeared to be phantom. I just didn't want to spark yet another debate on the call itself.
these forums are pretty old at this point, weird things probably happen all the time.
