Fiesta Bowl: #3 Clemson 29, #2 Ohio State 23 (Postgame)

[MrNubbz]

Borrowed or in this case Burrowed this from an LSU Board


Yeah, I was gonna mention when guys catch a ball with their arms around the defender and pin it to the defenders back. Guess that’s not really a catch cause ball didn’t get tucked.

The amount of stupidity in this thread is something to behold. On every level of football, if you have the ball in your hands and it’s not moving, and you take three to four steps, that’s a catch. Guys catch balls all the fricking time without ever tucking it.

Burrow don't know sic 'em

Every time I see one of these reviews on was it or was it not a catch is going to drive me nuts now. Cal just had one ruled incomplete and the guy took one and a half steps and then I got overturned to complete. As opposed to being ruled complete having the Clemson Receiver take three steps and then having it over rules and be called incomplete.  Receiver take three steps and then having it overruled and be called incomplete Rrrrggghhh

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

That is probably true. However, I can honestly state that B1G officials are the worst that I have seen. Ohio State should have been already prepared for the officiating Saturday as they have seen much worse all year long.

In the P5, that goes to the PAC. ACC follows. Then SEC. Then B1G. XII has the best.

Ehhh… C'mon man. OSU and UM get all the breaks in conference.

I also agree that PAC has the worse refs. I'm not sure I could confidently separate the other 4.
I watch the most B1G and see the most egregious calls from them, but I've also seen pretty bad SEC and XII refs. 
I'm pretty apathetic to the ACC, and not sure I've seen a more than a handful of games all year (mostly Virginia Tech.)

[utee94]

I never watch ACC games so couldn't comment.

Aside from the B12, I'm probably most familiar with SEC games because of watching games with my i s c & a aggie wife.  I'd say B12 and SEC refs are about the same.  Not great but not horrible.

I don't have enough experience to comment on PAC refs either, to be honest, other than that memorable, completely blown call that went against OU when they played Oregon many years back.

For the B1G, I watch it some, and haven't noticed anything I thought was particularly horrible, either.

Glad to see that it is obvious to real officials.  Not just my homerism.

The play Dobbins ankle was bent.  Now that’s what real targeting looks like.

Random Comment I made during the game:

OSU is a rhythm offense all three times they made it to the Red Zone there has been a Time Out and OSU failed to get any more offensive production. 1st 2 were TV Timeouts?!?! Why?!?

I can't speak for ttun, but my experience has been that the B1G refs are terrible and seem to have their worst games when Ohio State plays. They can find OSU holding with great consistency, but seem to be oblivious to it when Chase Young is being tackled behind the LOS.

Good find the only problem it couldn't have happened on the very next play.I believe that was a punt then Clemsons H2H

Wes the why a sort of existential way, like, why is this happening to my team? Or was it a mechanical why of why are they stopping the game?

[Cincydawg]

I don't recall that TV time outs were called "out of the blue".  They usually come when there is a player hurt or perhaps a review at times or a change of possession, e.g., when the clock was stopped anyway.  Do they ever stop the clock mid-drive for solely TV reasons?
