There were zero holding calls in the entire game, which in general is rather surprising. I was watching the game with my nephew who was outraged over non-holding calls on und, but I only saw maybe two that I thought were fairly bad (but was too emotionally wrapped up in the game to be carefully observant).
In fact, the refs didn't call much of anything overall. Only seven accepted penalties the whole game - one on us. Either a very cleanly played games, or the ACC officials found our flags difficult to dislodge from their pockets.
