To me, there are two types of "clear" penalties. One, when you see it as blatant when implying your interpretation of the rules. Two, the kind you see that you aren't sure is a penalty, but that you are convinced will be called a penalty based on what you've seen called before.
The kicker "hold" was more the latter than the former, IMO. My thinking on it is that there is no way in hell the refs didn't see it, and given it was going on for so long, you have to conclude it really wasn't a penalty, because if it was, they don't miss any opportunity to throw flags in the Pac-12. The PI on Martinez was a terrible call. The late hit on Granado was B.S. I rest my case.
