Our OL get called for holding, a lot. Have you not been watching the games? Hell, Everytime Nico rolls out of the pocket or picks up yardage with his legs it’s almost a guarantee.Blaming and complains about officiating. Typical VN. Clearly Pearce is the only guy that gets held. Our OL never holds. This video shows the sole reason why we lost to Arky and UGA. Good grief
Nowhere in the video did I say these directly contributed to losses. In fact, if you would have scrolled down I left a comment pinned on the video that says the complete opposite. In no way do I think these missed calls directly lost us any ballgames, players have to play better and coaches have to coach better plain and simple. The worst game for misses was Oklahoma where we won. But you gotta admit some of these were insane misses right in front of the refs face. I just wanted to see if what other Vols media and fans were telling me (that Pearce is getting held all over the place) is true, and here is the evidence lol. I am sure you could put together a tape like this for many d lineman in the SEC. It is more of a testament to how bad SEC refs truly have gotten.Blaming and complains about officiating. Typical VN.

Totally agree!Great video. I will say this, defenses are most likely taught similar to DB's getting beat -
if you are getting beat, go ahead and grab and hope the refs don't call it. It's a little
easier to see the secondary foul and not always easy to see the DE getting held.
It does seem that Pearce is being manhandled with no repercussions, such is that of all all-star.
I don't think it is as much a conspiracy as it is just incompetence.
If they called all the holdings, O lineman would stop doing it as often. They do it because they know they can get away with it:Good Lord..Some of our fans sound like damn whiney ass Alabama fans. They are still bitching about the refs from 22 and now this year. EVERY Oline has guys that hold 80% of the time. Ours do it all the time too. If they were to call all the Oline Holding, these games would take 6 hours to play. I'm quite sure a tape could be made on our Oline too.
@BigOrangeTrain immediately and always jumps to the “you guys are whining and saying that is the only reason we lost” when in fact, nobody is saying that. It’s total stupidity. He reads what he wants and any criticism of officials seems to set him off. It’s honestly weird and disturbing how he feels the need to react everytime with zero self-awareness of how wrong he is.Nowhere in the video did I say these directly contributed to losses.
