Why no automatic 1st down on defense holding....

Not an automatic first down on a running play.
It would have been a first down if Purdy had thrown the ball away.
Did he rock you back and forth while he was reading it?
In that situation why wouldn't a coach be out there screaming his lungs out?
page FR 99 says the automatic first down only applies to defensive holding on a pass play where the pass crosses the neutral zone. (I just looked it up)
That rule is for passing plays. Rule 9-3-3 was applied in this case and does not include an automatic first down.
Does Dean Blandino have multiple accounts on here? I’m impressed there are multiple posters that know the rule, nonetheless the rule number from the rule book.
How about the refs ******* up that spot on I believe Jones. Should’ve been a 1st down, instead 4th and 1 and then we got stopped. That completely flipped the momentum as I think we would’ve gone up 3 scores if we converted that drive with a TD.
Can’t believe the booth didn’t at least replay that.
Also that should have been a TD by Pettway after the offensive PI call reversal.

I mean, the rulebook is online if you ever want to look up a rule.
It's just so stupid that you wouldn't give a first down on a defensive hold regardless if a throw is made as the hold may result in the qb holding on to the football. Dumb rule.
It's weird for sure. It's an automatic first down in the NFL no matter what happens during the play.
Your football son has all the makings to be a Big 12 official. ;-)
An automatic first down for defensive holding only applies if it is a passing play where the ball crosses the neutral zone. In this case we ran the ball. So, still 2nd down.
Yeah, but why are we in shotgun on 4th and inches as well? Just stupid
I was only annoyed at the obvious holds on McDonald. That was absurd.
