No holding is not the only excepiton. I do not have my rulebook right in front of me, but any offensive foul that was not specified with a special enformcement like Intentional Grounding, the foul goes back to the previous spot. So BBW, Chop Blocks, BIB or Clip would all apply to the previous spot if behind the previous spot. Running or passing would not matter.
