[Husker] No Personal Foul?

[Rod Wellman]

I was at the game with the best seats I've ever had at a Husker game  
(other than the Spring Games).  22 rows up, 30 yard line, West  
Stadium.  It maybe went both ways, but I saw a LOT of holding  
penalties that were never called.  This could partially explain why  
our D-line never got any pressure.  I saw one play where Moore was  
literally dragging an O lineman with him as the O lineman hung on  
from behind.  Not just for awhile, for a number of seconds.  No  
call.  For whatever reason, these refs really "let them play".  I  
guess maybe it went both ways, but jeez...you'd like the rules to be  
enforced somewhat, at least for consistencies' sake so that the  
players know what to expect week to week.
