1. I agreeZurp, the refs could call holding on every play against every team. Not entirely certain which ones they call versus the ones they choose to ignore. If you watch the line play, on the 'off the ball side', the OL look like they're holding their dance partner close, but since the play's going the other way, most eyeballs are watching the ball carrier...or so I opine. PS, believe they do a creditable job, for something that is a bang-bang occurrence. Anyway, far better than the zerbras calling the WNBA...
2. I'm guessing you're responding to my comment that there will be a "bad call" or a "bad non-call" early and the Penn State fans will whine and say that's the reason for the lopsided win. That's their MO. Of course, to them, their players are pure as the wind-driven snow, if I get that saying correct. They would never commit a penalty. If the referees call a penalty, then the ref is a bad ref.

A $95 million bet gone wrong: Inside Brian Kelly’s last days at LSU
Brian Kelly overhauled Notre Dame once to great success. His approach failed massively at LSU. Why?www.nytimes.com
I never really thought about this until I heard Tressel refer to his players by first name. To me, they were "Krenzel" and "Gamble" and "Clarrett". To him, they were "Craig" and "Chris" and "Maurice".
And that really is the way that it should be. My boss calls me by my first name. There's a lot I don't like about the management of my company, but they call me by my first name. If they were to call me by my last name, or say something like, "What's your name?" it would give me a feeling opposite of "family". And my company does a lot to make the workplace NOT feel like family, already. I think workplace culture is important. And I'm willing to bet that a football team is much the same.
