ironically, many Clemson fans assumed that Justin fields was “like JT Barrett“ and could run but not throw but the reality was fields mobility was extremely limited by his banged up knee and he had a great day passing far out doing Trevor Lawrence, while Lawrence save his team with his running skills.

also ironic that announcers kept praising Dobbins for explosiveness and speed when he was caught from behind a couple times, while the Buck defenders couldn't catch Lawrence

It was a catch and a fumble.

that's all about angles and who got blocked and who didn't.There was holding on that run didn't you hear?

[Kris60]

That same defense scored a touchdown that got denied not by the opponent

It doesn’t change his point that you are cherry picking one play out of 150 or so and claiming that, and that alone, decided the game.

Now we can close the thread. The Grand Exalted Mystic Ruler has spoken.


'Bout damn time man.

If you add 7 earned points onto the Buckeyes final score what do you have?I'm not asking for anyone's confirmation - that was clear.Watch that receivers hands and show the congregation here where it was bobbled.I have seen so many times calls not reversed,I actually felt good when it went to the review booth thinking it was obvious.Seriously go to the many fan forums(sans tOSU or Clemson) and go to Saturday Nights Game threads and look at the responses

That 7 points can come from any number of plays. Dobbins catching two passes near the goal line, not letting Clemson drive 94 yards in 4 plays, Olave not breaking his route off the wrong way.

You are choosing the one that takes the onus off of your team’s mistakes.

Greetings, amigos.

War Football!

And I'll take it a step further... Even SEC fans consider SEC refs to be mediocre, at best. 

There's too much money involved for sub-par officiating in the P5--and I thought both the 'big' games demonstrated a lack of expertise. It's simply unacceptable. 

[utee94]

I think fans of every conference think their officials are the worst.

Imagine if he had been next to the sideline, and only one foot got inbound.That would have been a catch with arms extended.The call on the field to be over turned there had to be undisputed evidence. it didn’t meet that definition.if there is not clear and indisputable evidence to overturn it, the call on field stands.


Oh and the whistle never blew

Agreed. If not, they must be better losers than myself.

that's because we watch our conference more and see more horrible mistakes
