It’s been 17 weeks since an Ohio State defensive lineman has drawn a holding penalty.
It occurred when Western Michigan offensive tackle Jack Sherwin held Caden Curry on a rush at the end of the first quarter in the second game of the season.
According to the program's official box scores, Ohio State’s opponents have been flagged for holding three times this season. Including the one mentioned above, there were also holds from Marshall center Logan Osburn on linebacker Sonny Styles and Michigan State running back Kay’ron Lynch-Adams on safety Caleb Downs.
That fact bothers Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, who said Sunday that he and his teammates are held each time an opponent snaps the ball.
