During last night's Louisville / Houston game I'm pretty sure there was a holding call on the receiving team during a free kick that went untouched into the end zone for a touchback. Holding had to have occurred during the kick since there was no return. Next snap was at the 15. I wasn't paying much attention at the time and couldn't go back to look at it when I thought about it. Did I miss something?

PFK enforcement?
It's at 0:49 of the first quarter according to the game book.

It appears you are right - check the drive beginning after Houston goes up 10-0.
(0:49 - 1st) Ty Cummings kickoff for 65 yds for a touchback LOUISVILLE Penalty, Offensive Holding (Devante Peete)
1st and 10 at LOU 15
(0:41 - 1st) Jeremy Smith run for 4 yds to the Lvile 19
This needs to be enforced from the previous spot, correct?
-
Yes, previous spot and rekick or decline and take the touchback.
For holding on a touchback our philosophy is hold off on the flag unless it is a takedown.
-
Holding on team B. would that not be enforced where the ball belongs to B? 25 yd line.
-
For Team A fouls that would be an option as the "tack-on" rule applies to all kick plays.
For a scrimmage kick a similar Team B hold would qualify for PSK so on a touchback we'd take them back from the 20.
No such rule for free kicks. Basic spot is the previous spot.

Rule 10 / Section 2 / Article 2 - Determining the Enforcement Spot and the Basic Spot
d. The following are basic spots for the various categories of plays:
4. Kick plays.
(a) Previous spot, on legal kick plays unless the foul is governed by postscrimmage kick rules.
(b) Postscrimmage kick spot, if the foul is governed by postscrimmage kick rules.
