I have to tell you...watching that game last night...the pass defense on both sides was all grab and hold. The officiating in that stadium for whatever reason is always terrible. Penn State at least played the same game and were grabbing and holding just as much as the Purdue DBs. It's the ole'...you won't call pass interference on every play strategy. It's disgusting. The officials lost control of that game and it became a holding contest. I don't mind players being physical and shucking a receiver to get him off his route...but you can't grab the shoulder pad and hang on down the field, grab jersey, arms or whatever and impede them.
Every time Iowa plays there...and we do this year...our receivers get mugged. At least it was clear that Franklin told his guys to get physical and do the grab and impede on every play. Penn State's corners were holding on every play.
