Only thing more certain than Iowa fan claiming they don't get away with holding is Iowa getting away with holding.

Iowa fan logic - we don't get away with holding cause you aren't good enough to have hold.

Is shown blatant holds.

Iowa fan - You can literally call holding on every down.

Is shown that statistics say Iowa is not called for holding while Nebraska is.

Iowa fan - You are whiners and we have the best tight ends in he NFL.
I agree with all of this, as iowa fans are college footballs turds that just won’t flush, but Ivan is a Michigan fan and a decent poster.

No, they weren't getting pressure because they were playing patty cake with the OL. The refs are never going to call that.
If they were "playing patty cake" (stupid nonsensical statement) Then why did they need to be held? A blatant hold at the point of attack is a hold that should be called. All these b.s. excuses are stupid and laughable. The more people try and explain it away with stupid **** like this makes it all the more absurd.

My bad,. Looked at his post history and there was a lot of Iowa stroking so I assumed. His Penn State comment sounded very Iowa fan too.

That's exactly what I said. The other team doesn't need to hold because our DL was sitting there playing patty cake with the OL. The only bs excuses are to keep blaming the refs for our miserable record the last 4 years.

What does Iowa's trophy case look like? Don't you think Iowa is just a crappy program and fan base compared to Nebraska?

BTW, when you look at any and all video our DL and OLBs definitely don't play patty cake. Show us this patty cake.

So NFL scouts looked at the tape of Maliek Collins, the Davis twins, Vincent Valentine, Kevin Williams and Darrion Daniels and said "I like the way these guys play Patty Cake we should get them. Got it.

Now all you have to do is find an Iowa fan in this thread and maybe you will be on to something.

You do realize we aren’t talking about the refs missing some holding calls? The referees quite literally never call holding against Nebraska’s big ten opponents. Not, “some”, or “a few”, literally not a single holding call, for years!!!

2018 Nebraska vs Minnesota was the first time since 2016, that holding was called on a Nebraska opponent in Big Ten play. That has continued and a holding call has not been called against an opponent since then, but you act like the referees just happen to be missing it, the same referees that openly celebrate Wisconsin touchdowns against Nebraska on national television???? Sure, no bias at all...
I believe in this conspiracy.

Look for this multi-year trend to continue in a big way Saturday. I saw Michigan o-lineman literally tackle Wisconsin defenders to the ground multiple times last Saturday with no flags. The big woke conference will do everything in its power to protect its top ten ranked darling.

Nebraska on the other hand, will be called no fewer than 6 times for holding, whether it happened or not, and most likely on a TD, so the TD can be called back.
you have a frosh O Tackle blocking the best player in the b1g. You better hope they don’t call holding

Best player in the Big Ten? I thought that was the MN QB according to that MN fan that disappeared for the last 2 weeks.

On Hutchinson. I've seen MI move that kid around. He is a helluva player. It's a great day maybe for both Teddy and Corcoran to face a great player.

The MI kid will likely show these OT's their biggest weaknesses, then the NU coaches have a blueprint on the immediate, mid and long term things they need to work on in order to help them better prepare for later in the season.

I didn't say anything about Iowa. I also wasn't talking about this year. From 2017-2020, our DL and OLB's were playing patty cake. That's why we had one of the worst pass rushes in the country.

Even with those guys, we could never produce a decent pass rush. Many of those guys underperformed while they were here.
