Finally! Nebraska's Scott Frost has hilarious reaction to holding call on Ohio State
The scoreboard may not have indicated a huge reason to celebrate in Lincoln, but Scott Frost couldn’t help but throw his arms up in the air after one play on Saturday afternoon. That moment came when Ohio State was called for holding.
For those not following along, it’s been a rare occurrence when Nebraska’s opponents have been penalized for holding over the past 6 seasons. This year has been no exception.
So when a Buckeye was whistled for the penalty, Frost threw his hands into the air with joy. Nebraska fans were pretty pleased, too.

It hasn’t just been the 2021 season in which there have been complaints about a lack of holding calls in Lincoln. Here are some numbers from previous seasons.
Pretty jarring, really:
377 snaps – ZERO opponent holding penalties
Don’t forget, Nebraska also went 21 straight Big Ten games (2016-2018) without a single hold called on opponent https://t.co/C3ZYx9dPLO

Sometimes, the small victories are also worth celebrating. Every Husker inside Memorial Stadium was fired up after a rare holding call against Ohio State.
Even the head coach.
