I'm pretty sure it was a legit block.  Reid's hands were kept inside, not out, and Reid was between the would be tackler (i think it was the kicker) and McCaffrey, so he was pushing, not pulling.  I think the poor Low APR U kicker was helpless against Reid, so you might have argued hold, but I don't see what would have constituted holding.

I went back and looked. Maybe holding.

Didn't look to me that Reid grabbed anything or tackled the guy, but his left arm (trailing side) did get hooked around the kicker. That's a little hard to see, and I wouldn't be surprised if the ref missed it (and mostly noticed the flailing). Nominally that is holding (I think), but the rule book says,

The hand(s) shall be:
...
(b)
Inside the frame of the opponent’s body (Exception: When the opponent turns his back to the blocker) (A.R. 9-3-3-VI and VII)

Well, the opponent turned his side to the blocker as they ran upfield, which led to the arm getting outside, but never quite his back.
