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

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.

I posted the current rules. It was not a catch by the letter of the law, as replay confirmed.

In your theoretical example, does the Clemson player lose the ball before completing the process of the catch?

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

you have updated language that disproves his language?

be a better troll.

I quoted the exact section and article from the updated rulebook. You're free to verify it yourself...although that would mean admitting you are wrong, so I suppose you'll continue to deflect and blame the refs.

Wait, someone affiliated with Ohio State is upset about officiating in a game they lost?! I'm shocked!

He grew up in and went to Colorado for college football. He has literally 0 ties to OSU whatsoever. How can you be this ignorant?

Exactly.

agreed....QB dropped his helmet. I knew you'd finally come around. Well done.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

but NCAA rulebook confirmed he was right.

He is either fabricating parts or using an outdated rulebook.

Has nothing to do with it being targeting.

 

[The Oldtimer]

*shrugs* oh well. sue me.

LOL, why would I sue you, just because you make mistakes on your comments, like the rest of us?

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?

He’s talking about gene smith

LOL wrong again dude. Wow.

 

[dtgold88]

Not a horrible call. Maybe a horrible rule...but certainly not a horrible call.

Horrible? Maybe not. But it was the wrong call or, at the very least, could have gone the other way.

Gene Smith has 0 ties to OSU?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Only if the refs didn't do their job.

My bad, thought you meant Joel Klatt, the unbiased dude with no OSU ties who shared the exact sentiments as Gene Smith.

[michaeljordan_fan]

LOL wrong again dude. Wow.

Why are you using an old rulebook? I quoted line by line, even listing the section and article numbers from the current rulebook.

 

[WizardHawk]

Clemson grit caused an OSU WR to run the wrong route?

The last play was an example of how OSU still had a chance to win so they can't really blame the refs or unlucky breaks.

The 'grit' was Clemson overcoming a flurry in the first quarter and frustrating issues of their own to keep it close and come back and march down to take the lead late.

If he never loses possession after 3 steps, then its a TD. If he loses possession, then he failed to complete the catch.

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

Who cares what some loser reporter thinks? I'll trust the rules experts and the NCAA rulebook.

On that I cannot really disagree. OSU definitely had chances to win, but to argue they clearly got both calls right is absurd.

No different than my thoughts on Saints.....clearly they missed that call, nut NO still could have won.
