Game Thread: CFP SEMIFINAL: Clemson (13-0) vs Ohio State (13-0) 8pm ET ESPN

Not hit him with the crown of his helmet and come in with his head up. Pretty simple actually.

According to Joel Klatt, replay only gets involved when every aspect of targeting can be confirmed. Wasn't the case.

And you are supposed to tackle with your head where his was.

Da fuq are you even talking about at this point?

Ohio State not going for 2 had 0 impact on the outcome of the game.

this all starts with an Ohio state TD when down by 5. That is worth 6 points.
Ohio state up 1.
IF they go for two and fail, they are still up 1.
Clemson scores TD they go up by 5.
They make two point conversion they are up 7.
Ohio state scores TD, they are down 1.
They kick the XP and it goes to OT.

QED

We dropped two TD passes and two major calls went Clemson's way somehow, you've gotta be joking.

Did Clemson get some calls? Absolutely.
Did everything go Clemson's way? Absolutely not.

Ah, memories...

Hey hey watch it!! Dalvin Cook was only a freshman in that game.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Felt like that Bama/Georgia game

Which one?

 

[dtgold88]

Trying to be respectful, but OSU beat themselves.

Clemson did what they needed to do, though, so good luck.

I'd rather lose 31-0.

That was not Clemsons A game. Period


You saw their A game when they had to do something. But they were asleep it seemed much of this game. Good thing for OSU. It kept the game close.

You should probably give OSU some credit, they did a lot of things well tonight. Just not enough and didn't get it done.

Ah, memories...

And Jameis has brought his turnover ways to the NFL.

I don't think so. Burrow can make the plays that Fields didn't. You might not like it, but OSU couldn't throw to the deep outside and when they did it didn't end well, usually. If you watched LSU today, when they threw to the deep outside, it made OU look like a high school team. Now, Clemson is surely a different beast, but Burrow and use the entire field and doesn't panic, steps very well into the pocket and has great awareness. That's the real difference between Clemson vs OSU and Clemson vs LSU.

Clemson is going to physically punish LSU, far too physical and they will outcoach king corndog and his crew.

What major calls that were controversial went OSU's way?

My bold Championship prediction:


The Tigers will win it all.

 

[dtgold88]

Very evenly matched. I wanted Ohio State to go for it on 4th and 4. I think they were on the 37 yard line. Very makeable and could have iced the game. Pinning the other team with a punt is overrated.

I might have but up only 2 I get doing what they did.

We were picked 3rd in our division this year. Again, it was a very, very bad post.

Buckeye RB has a lot of heart. Dline was pretty dam Good too. But yeah Clemson was asleep for a lot of this game

None of that happened.

That we agree on.

Buckeyes were playing their C game. They were distracted by thoughts of that thing your grandma does when she takes her dentures out and puts her mascara on like war paint.

heh. good joke

 

[dtgold88]

What major calls that were controversial went OSU's way?

Cannot think of one. The 2 biggies (targeting and taking TO/TD off the board were at best questionable).

Your two "controversial" calls (the targeting and the incomplete pass) were not controversial...except to the untrained eye.
