Buckeye Bashing


Jan 1, 2020, 10:45 AM

I have been reading the posts and think most of these fans feel OSU would have won if not for the bad calls. They all vehemently smash OSU for complaining. But......

Had the TD stood, OSU would have been up by 8 points when Clemson scored that last TD with 1:30 left, according to "YES" (see below)
OSU went to the 30 and threw the interception. Clemson had no time left.
How could they have won??
I know you have seen the stuff going on online, and that many officials have said that call should not have been overrueled.
I think YES thought so also, as he was trying to make Clemsons win plausable.
The refs got the call right, it was the replay booth that was wrong. I will like to see what transpires! If anything will come of it
Just saying, so have at it. If I upset anyone I'm sorry, but that's how I see it.

Close Games


Jan 1, 2020, 10:58 AM

The fact is that everyone that's ever lost a close game could say "If every call went our way, we would've probably won." That's accurate, but not realistic. I certainly don't blame OSU fans for feeling a little miffed because calls didn't go their way. I suspect most of them will get over it in time. They've got a great team and a great coach. They'll be back.

The fumble/recovery/TD over-turned call is the least of their complaints. When the referees in the booth take the time to review a play and interpret the rules, then that's the rule. That so many disagree only says to me that they don't understand the rule (heh, me neither). Then, after the game, the officials reinforced that ruling. This is the equivalent of the Supreme Court issuing a ruling on a law. Don't like the ruling? Change the law. But courts, and officials, don't make the rules. They just interpret them.

Your base assumption is flawed


Jan 1, 2020, 10:59 AM

Your logic assumes the game would have played out exactly the same if the play stood.

If OSU goes up there, the coaches would not have called the same plays, and used the same strategies, nor would have the players been in the same mental space.

My belief is that TL and the D would have found a way to win. It's what Clemson does.

As an OSU fan you will almost certainly disagree and we will never know.

I will add that OSU was driving, cruising down the field, with the ball and a chance to win. They went after Turner because the had proven Olive could beat him (and because OSU hadn't been able to cram the ball down our throats in the redzone) It was a good call and poorly executed. Would have he caught it if he broke the right direction? Who knows - it didn't happen.

Great game and I look forward to our rivalry in the CFP.

Re: Your base assumption is flawed


Jan 1, 2020, 7:05 PM

You can’t say that because the whole premise of your argument is an assumption. Clemson had the game mentally won at the half, while OSU went into the locker room in shock. If Clemson had needed more points to win, they would’ve gotten them. It’s just what our team does under this staff. You saw the NO QUIT in our QB alone, but also Justin Ross & Tee Higgins. OSU likely has more NFL talent on both sides of the ball, but the outcome didn’t reflect that. The Clemson culture is above and beyond anything else in college football, and that’s why they’ll win back to back national championships

The bottom line is that one QB made the plays when he needed to while the other didn’t. After going down 16-0 Clemson spanked OSU 29-7. Clemson was better especially in crunch time. You’ve been schooled so you can run along now boy.

I agree. If the play stood, the only conclusion is that it was 23-21 at that point. Who knows how the rest of the game would have played out.

It was a great game and one of the hardest hitting that I have observed. Both teams gave it their all and laid it all on the line. The last 3 minutes showed just how close these teams were.

OSU had the lead with 3:07 remaining. A number of bowl games have come down to the last three minutes; either a team held or the other team scored.

exactly. spot on.


Jan 1, 2020, 6:42 PM [ in reply to Your base assumption is flawed ]

Even if it incorrectly stood, then the entire rest of the game plays out differently.

Regardless, it was either incomplete or possessed and forward progress was halted. Tigers ball either way.

why wasn't the receiver called down because of forward motion? When is forward motion supposed to be called? Can the d-back push the receiver 30 yards down the field or until receiver fumbles?

Re: Buckeye Bashing


Jan 1, 2020, 11:03 AM

Ignoring all the no calls that would have given CU an advantage is convenient for your narrative. Spinning it as if calls only went against OSU is ludicrous. Refs completely missed a targeting call, multiple holding calls, and likely others. Refs miss calls all the time. It affects both teams. The calls you complain about were legit so quit griping. Refs didn’t decide the game. Offense and defense did. Move on.

Too good! Need to put a big "OSU" on his black shirt. The replay officials have several things at their disposal that we don't get to see. They have many more looks, can see a play frame by frame, then compare to real time from angles we don't get to see, and when looking at the play in real time, the play looks like an incomplete pass with our receiver never having possession. Don't blame referees for that loss. We won, and they lost. Really just that simple.

Every play in a game has an impact on the next play, to say a 3rd Qtr score would determine the game is down right silly and shows a shallow understanding of the ebb and flow of the game...the scoop and score could have ignited Clemson to score 3 more times, it could have ignited the buckeyes to smash Clemson....no one knows and it is totally impossible to postulate what would happen..

What we do know is Clemson drove over 90 yards in 4 plays to take the lead late, state drove back and choked and lost the game.

Re: Buckeye Bashing


Jan 1, 2020, 11:29 AM

I think that turnover replays will continue to be looked at differently than other types of replays.

Officials are resisting blowing the whistle even if they think it was not a fumble and letting the play run itself to conclusion. The worse possible scenario for the refs is to blow a premature whistle and prevents a real turnover - so they don't blow the whistle.

The refs in the replay booth understand this so they view the replay video through different eyes than they would otherwise. They are looking to make the call based on the video - not looking to overturn the call only if there is incontrovertible evidence of it being wrong.

The rules may not acknowledge this, but that is how it is playing out. I think this is a far lesser evil than the early whistle.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There were SEVERAL reasons why 0-4-0 State lost the game...


Jan 1, 2020, 11:37 AM

and ABSOLUTELY NONE of them involved the officials;

1 - OSU had the ball 1st and goal on the Clemson 5 yard line. OSU came away with a field goal

2 - OSU had the ball 1st and goal on the Clemson 8 yard line. OSU came away with a field goal

3 - OSU had the ball 1st and 10 on the Clemson 11 yard line. OSU came away with a field goal

4 - OSU had the ball 1st and 10 on the Clemson 26 yard line. Fields throws an interception.

5 - Day played it safe with a two-point lead on 4th and 4 from the Clemson 39 with 3:27 to play. He elected to punt.

6 - The officials didn't rought the Clemson punter extending a drive

7 - The officials didn't target TL16 (and it absolutely was targeting).

8 - OSU had the lead with just over three minutes to play but Clemson scored the go ahead TD on 4-play, 95 yard, 78 second drive with under a 1:30 to play.

9 - OSU had the ball 2nd and 7 on the Clemson 23. Fields throws his second interception in the end zone in the final minute.

Clemson wins !!!

If 0-4-0 State wants to b!tc# and moan about bad calls, let's take a look at the other illegal hit at TL's knees by the OSU defender and the numerous holding penalties on both the OSU offensive line and defensive backs that were not called.

Clemson still wins so 0-4-0 State fans, the head coach, the AD, and the B1G head of officials need to stop whining and crying like a bunch of prepubescent 12 year old little girls and take the beating like adults.

It's a 60 minute game, not a 25 minute game. 0-4-0 State lost to a better team. Get over yourselves already !!!! You're boring the he!! out of everyone !!!!

on a real time replay, could think it was a completion! Sure, it looks like it on slow-mo, but not real time! I assure you, if a Clemson player had recovered it, all we would hear from the bucknuts would be, "Incompletion"!

As for as the targeting call, that was so obvious, and the bucknut were lucky that Chase Young wasn't also hit with "unnecessary roughness" for grabbing Trevor around the neck and twisting it. Probably should have been ejected!

they would have been up five. They would not have gone for 4th and 2 at our 21 yard line if they were up by 2 at that point and risked leaving it less than a FG difference. We score, still get the 2 point conversion and OSU has a chance to kick a FG and tie it or score a TD and win it.

Jan 1, 2020, 6:39 PM

forward progress was stopped, and the ball should have been spotted where formal possession took place. Once forward progress is halted, the play is supposed to dead, and you cant strip the ball while driving the offensive player backwards.

Heard an announcer on TV today say it should have been O4iO's ball. That's completely incorrect. It was either incomplete or complete and dead. Period. It's odd how this simple fact remains unmentioned in the ongoing narrative.

Anyone can play the what if game, on any play in any game. What if Clemson DB’s don’t drop 3 picks, one that was a sure pick 6? What if Clemson’s field goal kicker doesn’t miss a field goal? What if the officials call PI on any of numerous plays that it occurred? What if the officials called holding on the offensive line on any of the numerous plays that it occurred? The game isn’t won or lost on a single play as there were numerous opportunities throughout the course of a game for either team to seize control and secure the win. OSU had that opportunity early in the game and for a quarter and a half they dominated the game. Clemson weathered their best shot and won the rest of the game. Clemson is a seasoned playoff team with a champions heart and OSU is not.
