A few thoughts on the hold
1) Clearly a holding foul. You can't argue that it wasn't - the defender re-engaged the JoJo, and you can clearly see JoJo's shoulder dip as he's being pulled, and the ref had a clear view and immediately threw the flag
2) If the call happened halfway through the 2nd quarter, nobody on either side bats an eyelash - it wouldn't have been controversial at all
3) I'd like to think that I would be more objective if the same scenario went against BYU, but I'm sure I would have been a little ticked about it. I think CB would be full of posts about how a bad call stole the game. That's just how rivalries go.

Bottom line - this is a prime example of why complaining about the refs is dumb and only makes you look bad.

Don't do it .
