[quote author=Roberton3 link=topic=6882.msg52181#msg52181 date=1353001339]An extra benefit of Oregon's approach is that by taking the referees by surprise, they can get away with stuff like that.

Agreed. I also think their "smaller" OL players are experts at holding onto DL jerseys without getting called.

Interestingly, Oregon got called for holding a few times against Cal last week, and I didn't see any blatant non-calls through the 3 quarters I watched.  But, Stanford has been the victim of many Oregon holdings not called in the last three games.  I remember one TD run in each of the last three games where Oregon flagrantly held, the hold was instrumental in giving the runner the room to score, and it was not called.
