Yea I know judgment calls are part of the game, and they usually go both ways. (I mean if they call holding on T-Bob for that block, that could've just as easily called a PI on the last play of the game.) How many noticed the blatant holding on the VT safety that sprung the Boise RB on that big run last night? That no-call changed the game. How that was not seen, IDK. Bad calls are gonna be made and penalties are not gonna be seen/called. It's the nature of the game, but I'm beginning to wonder how much of it is inept officials or officials with "agendas."
Video will be up in a few minutes. At least from the ABC film I sure don't see anything that warrants calling back the TD. The only thing I can maybe, possibly see is T-Bob stayed on his guy a split second too long once he was on the ground, but that was after Ridley had already dashed by them and he couldn't possibly make a play on the ball.

Thanks. I thought it was a flag when I saw it live. When the defensive player gets between you and the ball carrier and there's a take down like that it usually draws a flag. Does look like it was a good block though.
Thanks for posting this. I don't see any holding. What a BS call! As others have said though, what do we expect from SEC officials...
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw this. I was amazed the announcers didn't comment on it and then I remembered who they were and figured it made sense.
just watched the video a few times. I think they called out the wrong #. prolly should have been on #64. didn't have any effect on the play, but he's got an outstretched arm with a handful of jersey as the d-lineman is running away from him. happened right in front of the ref, and he threw the flag dead at him.
