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

Same thing happened in the other game today. It can be reviewed from upstairs.

Except that other one was obvious targeting. This, not so much.

Courtesy of the refs.....

Young might be gone.

Lol guess we gotta keep this a game

ESPN gotta make that money. I was just getting ready to flip to Amber pays the rent.

No flags on the field, but they review for targeting. WTF?

If Lawrence would’ve jumped up don’t thing a flag would’ve been thrown but since he was turned into a pretzel they looked again

 

[Stakesarehigh]

It was obvious targeting. Anytime your eyes are staring at the ground and you hit a player it’s going to be a flag. They need to adopt the NFL standard of hitting with the crown of the helmet

They don't take players out of the game in the NFL

That's the dumb part of this whole rule. Especially in a playoff game.

 

[jjc2009]

awesome tackling there, buckeyes

:eyeroll:

#54 should feel terrible. He was trailing the play and if he breaks down then he would have cleaned up the play.

Especially after the bath they took on the last game

We’re not shutout

 

[tabascojet]

fields needs to punch this drive in to get the game back from the refs....

 

[Erie Warrior]

Are you new to football?

Uh, no.

 

[Collegefbfan]

No way Clemson wins this if Lawrence has to run for his life...

agreed. Needs to be like 3 strikes and you are out. It also needs to be leading with the crown of your helmet, where you hit shouldn’t matter

 

[Codaxx]

Uh, no.

then why are you asking about refs reviewing for targeting

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Hey, did you guys think that was targeting?

 

[bocomo007]

man up

you can't cry about the refs anymore, that series is done

 

[Moab]

He did lead with the crown of his helmet...stop whining.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

kicking FGs is usually the blueprint for losing

Ohio State can only blame themselves for letting Clemson hang around until a lucky break happens

Their running back dropped two easy passes, and it cost them 8 points at least

Not sure what you are watching but it was clearly targeting by the rules today

 

[Deep Creek]

Seems like Dobbins either runs for 80 or 1.

 

[Pariah]

Can you really target a QB if he stays in the pocket? I mean, the ball was snapped to him and he just stood there until the defender got there. You have to have some responsibility there as the QB to protect yourself.
