Blueblood Protection Penalties

[CERU00]

After watching the officiating against the bluebloods, especially Michigan and PSU, this year, it seems to me that the refs will go out of their way to stop momentum when we're on a good run of plays or approaching the red zone. It usually manifests as a holding penalty, as was the case against PSU. I think the same was called when we went on a run against Mich. In each case there was no more holding than on observed on any other play. Am I alone in this? Seems blatant. For whatever reason our sideline doesn't seem to object to these calls when they occur. Opinions?
