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

Dobbins is a GREAT player! I saw him in person as a freshman, and have been a fan ever since. He literally gave everything he had tonight.

In the spirit of why the rule was created, that was the worst targeting call I've ever seen.

You should watch more football. Was pretty clear that it would be called targeting upon replay review.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

You watch what good ol GR is tellin ya

Are you preaching the gospel of Mark Helfrich, Frank Solich, Bill Stewart, Fred Akers...

That is some hard hitting religion. Preach brother.

 

[Across The Field]

I get it...you're upset...you've probably been drinking.

They were both clear calls upon replay review.

Yeah but they weren't. There's a reason basically every single sports analyst other than Clay Travis thought this way.

 

[Wild Turkey]

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.

Sleep well tonight with that BS running through your head.

 

[Pegleggedgreg]

Good night everybody. I’m off to go vomit.

So, you're saying they didn't bring their starters to the game for the first 36 minutes and then when they did they toyed with OSU. Stop being stupid, it was a fantastic game and was competitive from start to finish.

Stupid shit like this just needs to stop being posted. WTF is wrong with you

 

[Codaxx]

helmet to helmet does not equal targeting.

facemask to facemask doesn’t equal targeting. When the defender’s head is down and he makes contact with the crown of his helmet to the ball carriers helmet it’s targeting, which is exactly what happened

 

[phantomfoul88]

Bottom Line - OSU played 3 solid, Clemson played 3 solid quarters.

I thing it's only natural that when you get hit or see that you're about to, you lower your head. The only thing I would change, is that if both players lower their heads and the tackler doesn't vault himself leading with his head, then it's not targeting.

1. No launch
2. QB changed his level at the last minute

He's a 6'6" QB and Wade is 6'0". He wasn't defenseless. It was an absolutely horrible call that completely changed the game.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

Yeah but they weren't. There's a reason basically every single sports analyst other than Clay Travis thought this way.

The rules analyst immediately identified the reasoning behind both overturns, which is consistent with the rulebook.

You eat paint chips as a kid?

 

[Robotech]

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

I'd rather just put the game in the hands of my offense. Playing defense late in the game is difficult. You're dealing with fatigue and the other team will use all 4 downs if needed.

 

[The Derski]

Ohio State needed to make more plays.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

My big takeaway from today’s games is that the Sooners chug cocks.

 

[ericd7633]

That was a great fucking game. Pumped for LSU vs Clemson.

The QB changing his level has no impact on the call. Weren't you paying attention?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Ohio State needed to make more plays.

This fucking guy GETS it!

 

[phantomfoul88]

Herbies eyes look red and puffy.

He kind of looks rough for his age compared to Fowler who’s probably 10 years older. Herbies not a boozer is he?

Stop crying. Clemson has dominated just about everyone going back to Bama last year in the natty game. Clemson was asleep until late Q2. No idea why.

Great game cuz they made it one

Bullshit, he dropped his helmet to lead with the crown and that's all there is to it. He keeps his eyes up and leads with his facemask there is no call. It's not difficult to understand
