Maybe Off Line coach should be teaching holding now

Everybody gets away with it, grabbing jerseys, hands and arms wrapped around the outer part of rushers bodies, so why shouldnt we hold more.

It is cheating/breaking the rules but not a penalty if not called as the old saying goes.

As an experiment I think Croston and Ike should just hold alot, not super blatant, but a grab here and a hug there, and see how our rush and pass blocking improves.

Any other techniques they should use? I am not for the illegal chop blocks or blocks below the waist from behind.

Haven't penalties already been a big problem for the offense thus far?? I was thinking more along the lines of attempting to block without drawing flags and see how the offense does.

I think Iowa knows very well how to hold. It's just so much easier to see the other team doing it when your team loses.
