Dabo paid the refs OSU was easily the better team

Dabo &/or the refs caused Dobbins to drop 2 TD passes?

 

[rrlbees]

Paper tiger. The parallels to 2014 Florida State are there.

good call

Clemsoning should be renamed Ohio Stating.
Targeting on Lawrence.
Roughing the punter.
Dobbins dropped a TD.

Ohio State beat itself. Clemson showed a lot of heart overcoming it all.

That targeting was wrong right?
I also thought the reverse fumble was correct

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Some pretty bad coaching decisions by Ryan Day. 1: Not going for two on their last TD (even though it ended up not affecting the outcome of the game, still a dumb move). 2: Trying to kill clock and punting the ball back to Clemson with 2 mins left. Should’ve gone for the kill and not hand the ball back to Clemson and their potent offense.

 

[kirbivore]

That tOSU coach punting from the 40 on 4th down with three minutes left is exactly what all the Clemson backers wanted to see.

 

[Chip]

After several replays, that WR made the wrong decision to break it outside. The middle was open. That INT is completely on the WR.

I don’t know that the middle was open either, a very talented safety was right there lurking. I think Fields forced it.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Mobile QB was a difference maker in this game. Where have we seen that before?

 

[SWC75]

I thought OSU mainly built their lead on two 60+ yard runs by Dobbins.

Both made possible by Clemson D-backs over-running the play and missing the cutback.

 

[rrlbees]

I don’t know that the middle was open either, a very talented safety was right there lurking. I think Fields forced it.

The safety was facing away from the middle and the receiver was going toward the middle. The receiver would have run right by the safety cause he would have had to turn.

Guess who said Clemson was overrated all year long

Suspense is killing me here.

targeting was 100% correct call

 

[blizz]

Great run there.

What does Herbstreit mean when talking about where Ross lines up. Describing it as “to the field?”

Does that just mean on the outside?

Unless the ball is exactly in the middle of the field one side is always shorter than the other (the ball is closer to one sideline). The short side of the field is referred to as the boundary, or boundary side. The long or wide side of the field is referred to as the field or field side. Hope this clears it up.

Did he lower his helmet or what?

 

[suloyalfan]

Did he lower his helmet or what?

Yes

 

[qdawgg]

Did he lower his helmet or what?

Thats not how the rule is read. Based on the rule book that’s targeting, he came in the with crown of his helmet only. Pretty straight forward call. If you don’t like the call that’s completely different but it’s still the correct call according to the rule book

 

[Newhouser]

Is the targeting call controversial? Seemed like an easy call and too six seconds to review.

 

[Symphony Steve]

That was quite a satisfying Law & Order marathon I was watching. Anything happen in the game after I left?

Ohio State fans bitching about questionable officiating is the football equivalent of Duke fans doing the same.

Bad things really do happen to bad people. Seeing the depressed looks on those degenerates was just delightful last night. What a horrible bunch.

 

[SU2NASA]

Every single call didn’t go their way. OSU fans don’t know how to react to such a scenario.

Clemson got a few breaks but like some posters have said, it only worked because Ohio State made several conservative calls and kicked too many FG's in the first-half.
