Game Thread: Orange Bowl: Ohio State vs. Clemson

What?!?!?! Who would have actually kept a stat like that?

Anyways, times have changed. The way teams can run up and down the field, 35 points doesn't feel as safe as it used to.

Clemson played a hell of a 4th quarter, That fumbled punt return gave them life and they played like champions.

We were also not exactly told the truth about their defense... which did not suck like espn told us they did.

I agree. Who keeps up with this crap? It's interesting though.

Honestly, that may be one of the best games our D played all year and they still gave up 35 pts. They aren't going to shut down anyone. I can't remember the last time we have had a shutout.

They came through when it counted.

No, I agree, it's interesting.. just somewhat obscure.

It's hard to throw a shutout these days. But there were no easy scores... you guys are solid up front and your secondary seems to play some pretty tight coverage as well.

Heartbreaking. Brown was wide open and may have scored. If Urban had seen that Braxton could barely raise his arm over his head, he might have put Guiton in.

Granted, the Buckeyes looked like crap for 3/4s of the game, but they still managed to put together scores here and there, BUT, that fumbled punt return lost the game for them. huge mistake.

I'm sure he was hurt, but I don't know that I completely buy that he was hurt that bad. He took himself out for 3-4 games earlier this season when he was hurt... and the doc. even told him he was good to go. He also left in that game where he was brought down by the back of his jersey. Don't get me wrong, I like Braxton and I know he's tough.. but I think they're making more out of this than it really is.
