He said he looked at every play and nothing was as obvious and egregious throughout the game as the hold that was called.

Besides that, I think you could argue the timing was actually critical. It is very clearly Jake's first read.

I personally expect that if there was no hold it is likely still not a completion anyway, but the hold took the #1 pass option off the table for BYU. There is no way to know especially since the defender was clearly beat without the hold. If our guy is open and in front of his defender than that option (the #1 read) is on the table. Its a throw Jake was given no real chance to throw because an infraction from the other team took it away. I would hope any ref would call penalties in similar situations.
