No wonder Harrell had such an easy time of it back there in the pocket

Now this is subtle, but effective -- note how Tech "blocker" uses vise grip to grasp outside of shoulder pad with right hand, and a fistful of jersey with the left; pull and squeeze and you've effectively immobilized the defender

When you're 6-7 and 360 AND are allowed to hold every play, you can be a pretty doggone effective blocker

..which is rendered even more effective by an upward thrust of the shoulder pads

This one is just sick -- three on one; Harrell is back there smoking a cigarette; and the Tech OL still has just GOT to hold; can't resist the temptation; hell, they're not going to call it...

...and we're not talking about a quick squeeze here, either -- this hold goes on and on, before God and everybody...

...finally, one of the trio of Tech blockers wanders off, looking for somebody else HE can hold; meanwhile, Harrell is still surveying the landscape (now the rush on this play wasn't overwhelmingly impressive, either)
