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

I never suggested the calls were right. The reversal of the fumble/run back for TD was pretty stupid.

This is a common story in many games and at both the college and pro levels. Bad calls, missed calls happen. OSU still had a chance to win and either the WR blew the route or the QB wasn't on the same page for some reason. It was a self inflicted wound that ended it. That's a bigger story here.

Not really mutually exclusive though. Sure, they had a chance to win after those calls, but also fair to think game goes differently if no reversal on the calls.

This is what you sound like.

Well this is better than you saying calls that are clearly wrong were right. Nice pivot.

I get it, you're upset. Get over it.

Are you just going to ignore what both of us just posted as the rules and try and say it wasn't a fumble despite the rules saying it was?

Let me ask you this: If the Clemson player was in the end zone and possessed the ball without bobbling it, and took three steps before going out of bounds, is it not a TD? Of course it is.

Stop being an idiot.

The part that you are HAPPILY skipping over is that the WR did not avoid or ward off the DB. The DB broke up the pass, this play is the very definition of the rule this year. The replay official got this play correct.

That would make sense if it happened as soon as the ball got there. He literally took 4 steps with the ball securely in his grasp without even slightly bobbling it.

You provide data/rues that proves your own point to be incorrect and he has mental issues?

If you just said, "ok, you might be right, clearly 3 steps forward is ADVANCING the ball. My bad" what would happen to you?

If the Clemson player was in the end zone and possessed the ball without bobbling it, and took three steps before going out of bounds, is it not a TD? Simple question. As it was, where he never bobbled it, held it firm in both hands and took 3-4 steps, is it not a TD?

In your scenario does the Clemson player avoid or ward of the DB? It’s right their in black and white. If the WR would have done that then it would have been a fumble.

What would you call taking 4 steps in the direction away from the DB?

you are right it's in black and white. Per the rule posted by across and MJ fan all aspects for a catch are made.

lol, i didn't make a mistake. i'm saying for you to "sue me" if you have such a problem with my comment.

Okay if you say that you have never made a mistake on the Hoopa, then let's let it go at that. By the way you were the one that had a problem with my comment #914.

No he did not take 4 steps after securing the ball. The rule is clear, you must fulfill all steps, not just the first one of the rule. The steps are not the defining measure, the football move is. On that play the football move would have been warding off the DB and that did not happen, hence the reason it was over turned
