Was it a late hit on 2?

[Trueblue25]

Did wax hit him late?

Saw it in front of me at the dome, looked like a classic flop bs, but someone give it to me straight please.

Wax definitely chest bumped him and Klubnick definitely flopped

It was both. Silly for Max to do but it was a flop.

Correct - dumb of Wax to even be in position to be called for it, and great acting job by the QB.

So its what I saw

Im not surprised then

God I hate those plays. We all know Marlowe knows better and wouldnt. But thats when I got the feeling today wasnt our day.

Id hate to be the tarheels against us now.

Go Orange

Flop of all flops. Give the man an Academy Award...Still was stupid. But watching the Georgia game, and saw this type of stuff with no flags...

 

[tbonezone]

Klubfoot flopped worse than McPizza.

 

[samspann1]

Bull. It was a light chest bump, after which the Clemson QB flopped, Paulus-style. Silly decision by Wax, but yet another blown call.

 

[Cuseregular]

Have yet to do a rewatch, but someone said wax was on the motion of high fiving our guy. Klubnick got it the way and flopped

 

[MikeSU02]

Wax can’t even give the refs a sniff of a reason to throw the flag. And he did. It was a dumb play.

No. It was taunting. And dumb.

 

[DPCuse]

You know….these douchebags want to leave the conference for the SEC yet they still get every stinking call. Dumb.

 

[Newhouser]

He chest bumped the QB and took a step to do it. Easy flag no flop needed.

The way I look at these calls is what would we be doing if it happened to our punter. We’d be screaming for the penalty so I’m ok with the call on the filed. I see both sides as has been discussed above.

 

[tbonezone]

Wax can’t even give the refs a sniff of a reason to throw the flag. And he did. It was a dumb play.

On the first drive, Shrader took off for a 19-yard dash, but was hit hard and lost the ball. It was recovered by Clemson’s Payton Page at the Tigers’ 45-yard line. Clemson was initially called for a targeting penalty on the hit but after a review it was overturned.

“I just saw it clean,” Swinney said. “And it looked worse than it was because (Shrader) didn’t see him coming. He’s not a defenseless player. He’s running the ball and he’s not sliding. He’s not a guy that slides. He’s a punishing runner. I know it looked worse than it was, but I thought it was a clean hit from the get-go.”

and a chest bump gets you 15 and a first.

 

[Entropic]

Simply stated, don't give the refs a reason to make the call. Like the scrums after the whistle. I'm screaming stop at the TV the whole time. Dudes are looking to draw a penalty on those now.

It was a flop but the call should have been taunting on Wax. Our smartest player did something really dumb

 

[Tony DeFranco]

I thought the PI call was worse

 

[Wrinkle]

Honestly who cares. Wax has been nothing but exceptional his entire career and regardless of whether this was stupid or not I'll never think of it again and won't think less of Wax

Speaking of which, I turned that game in late. It was 3rd or 4th quarter and they showed the penalty totals and they were stunningly low when compared w acc and pac 12 games that throw flags all over the field. Today reiterated the fact that the coaches need to tell the players the refs in this league will not give you any breaks so don't even give them the opportunity to call bs on you.

 

[NineOneSeven]

That throw away was as “throw away” as it gets, I couldn’t believe any player would even come close to touching him.

Absolutely a sell job and rightfully so! As a Bills fan, I’ve seen Josh Allen do these a lot on the sidelines. Why wouldn’t you?

DONT TOUCH HIM!

[bigmike]

Silly call, maybe ok given the letter of the law, but given the ridiculous flop, why not simply issue a warning? Is that allowed?

 

[RF2044]

Terribly costly penalty. We stopped them on 3rd and 12 [or whatever it was], and the Dome was getting loud.

Instead of getting the ball back with momentum, that penalty from one of our senior leaders gave the opponent life.
