Northern Iowa Game

This is the definition and applies for a passing play. It was a run play.

The 'Safe Zone'​

Defensive holding cannot be called within five yards of the line of scrimmage.

This "safe zone" allows defenders to make contact with offensive players.

Any infraction outside of this zone, however, results in a penalty.

Defensive holding typically occurs when defenders try to keep up with a receiver running downfield.

As they try to prevent wide open passes, defenders sometimes end up holding onto a receiver's jersey, arms, or shoulders.

They’ve always called a defensive tackle holding up and preventing a linemen from getting to second level. This is not a new thing
 
I guess I’m just not as pessimistic about this team as others. I think the D looks darn good and getting better. I do have a bit of concern on Andersons progress, hopeful he improves. But overall I’m optimistic.
