Guys, welcome to SEC officiating.  And that was the best crew from the sec.

Here is the replay. Nobody is talking about the "hands to the face" no-call on #73 on this play.

Disappointing.  I think he actually led with his shoulder, but Lawrence moved down and turned making it look more like helmet to helmet

but let’s give Clemson credit- they never quit and made the plays they needed to.

I thought I did.  I don't think anyone believed me. But that it impacts them?  Oh, now they see it!!!

They are THAT bad.  And curiously with decisive plays.  I'd suggest them investigated, but maybe don't want that... May be like curtain pulled at Oz.

OSU AD Gene Smith lashes out at officials

https://247sports.com/college/ohio-state/Article/Fiesta-Bowl-officiating-fumble-overturn-Gene-Smith-Ohio-State-Buckeyes-Jeff-Okudah-Ryan-Day-141246507/?fbclid=IwAR2YsNPM4Q06vT6e58N9VkytmfptgGL1jTHV7tO0Q9eO0Ad2Ut0NapmEffQ
Gene should be more upset with the coaching and players than the officials. 

Why Day called for an all out block on the punt when he would’ve got the ball at at least the 50 yard line is beyond me. Harbaugh does that shit so much it drives me nuts. It’s just not worth it. The risk of getting a roughing the kicker call just isn’t worth it.

Ohio State had a bunch of trips to the red zone and they got 3 or none how many times? If Dobbins just maintains possession on that swing pass instead of letting it hit the ground and bobbling it that’s 6. Fields was off with his passes in the red area as well.

And the real killer which ended the game was Olave/Fields not being on the same page. Fields threw it right too the Clemson safety. That’s ball game. 

I still think that ball was incomplete. And I still think Wade and every player shoulder get it drilled into their heads- never lead with the crown of the helmet ever. If you’re going to use the helmet as a weapon- just make sure you go super low and try to take out a guys legs- bc that’s not a penalty and it never gets called.

Not true. I've seen plenty of calls for tackling too low on a QB.


How about they either a) eliminate tackling, or b) eliminate helmets?

Yup you have to lower your head with the rest of your torso - there is no way around it unless you are a turtle.15 yards maybe but ejection on that?it was bang-bang

Impartial: 
it WAS targeting, intentions don't matter.
It WAS an interception.  He lost ball after intentionally transitioning position.

The last play:  that receiver was going to be a hero or goat the second he planted his foot to cut,other direction... Either he catches game winning pass, wide open, and is praised for his game awareness of shucking coverage, or, his QB throws to a ghost being covered by a wide open DB. 

I dont like the officiating either.  It ought not been a factor.  It should never be. BUT.  As freakin good as tOSU is, so is Clemson.  When officials have opportunity to decide outcome, the teams have already made that easy on them.

Helluva good game. Fun to watch.

This and in truth could be called against the offense every play.That Sooner DB who got kicked out was targeting.Wade was simply leaning in and their heads collide - like every other play during any game

Some dude on Twitter made a comment and I agree... Targeting will evolve to F1 and F2 or some such distinction... It has to.  If they hadnt made that call, the subsequent PI likely wouldnt have happened, and the QB wouldnt have ripped that TD run... And if a frog had wings..... 

And... Its not just the calls made, its the calls ignored... Its bad officiating, period.

there's plenty of target area below the neck and above the knee
one of my pet peeves with defense for 10 years or so is tackling/hitting too high

many times just results in a missed tackle
grabbing helmets and facemasks is foolish - get your hands down
rules say no head slaps and no hands to the face
