Holy #### he's fast.

Ohio St. has dominated most of the 1st half, but Clemson has made this a 16-14 game. They have to feel like they have this assuming no last minute scores. 

The targeting call was obviously huge. It was the correct call by the rule, but I wish there was some discretion on that as the defender Wade is just making a play and lowered his head. Still, but the rule, it's correct.

 

[East Coast Bias]

And Clemson gets the ball to start the second half. 

 

[Zegras11]

Those field goals are going to come back to haunt them.

I think I found Booger’s alias.

 

[joffer]

Lowering the head doesn’t equal targeting.

Agree. But in that case it would’ve avoided a targeting call 

 

[GroveDiesel]

Yes. There are two types of targeting. Leading with the helmet is one of them. The other is hitting the head or neck of the ball carrier first. 

Leading with the helmet “to attack with forceable contact”. I don’t think that he was leading with the helmet to attack, but the rule also says “When in question, it is a foul“ and that leads to dumb results like this one.

 

[Pipes]

Its not complicated.   Dont hit the qb with the crown.   He went for the big hit and paid the price.  

Well in his defense Lawrence out weighs him by 25 lbs so he kind of had to hit him hard.

 

[cubd8]

Ladies and Gentlemen (and the rest of you)....

We have a game.

Settle in with your favorite alcoholic beverage.

Ohio State kicked two field goals from inside the 5

In my opinion, that's exactly what he did. 

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Not sure why the Big 10 is even allowed in the playoffs.

 

[WDIK2]

Since they review targeting anyway, it wouldn't be tough to say that type of targeting is 15 yards (2 and you're out like unsportsmanlike conduct) and targeting with a launch (the real dangerous ones) immediate ejection.    Again, they review them anyway.

 

[NutterButter]

Not only are we fixing the playoff system tonight but also the targetting rule.  Ambitious.   

 

[bigmarc27]

I’d say we lost 80% of the plays that half, but still fighting. 
 

Also Arizona, your field sucks. Get field turf before you kill someone.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes the advanced metric types to turn the tide on this.

They dont even know what targeting is.

15 years probably. It sucks. 

 

[Jayded]

I’m mostly thankful we appear to have a decent game on our hands. 

 

[AAABatteries]

This year's weak ### ACC failed to prepare Clemson to repeat. 

Update?

 

[JaxBill]

Not only are we fixing the playoff system tonight but also the targetting rule.  Ambidextrous. 

 

[Politician Spock]

Update?

I just checked.... The ACC is still weak ###. Clemson may overcome that problem though. 

 

[JaxBill]

Dabo: "We're lucky it's 16-14"

 

[Beef Ravioli]

Desmond Howard is awful! 

 

[Pipes]

Conference schtick is the worst.

 

[gump]

From a Licensed Sales standpoint...either LSU or OSU will be huge, especially comping the Bama-Clemson years. LSU has an unpredictable upside.  Clemson is as low as it goes.

 

[The Commish]

Seems like a lot of folks in here don’t know the targeting rule.

Right...had the defender hit him with his head up, it wouldn't have been a problem.

 

[gump]

Amazingly LSU will play in its 3rd BCS/CFP Champ game in NOLA in the last 12 years. Something in the water...

 

[Phil Elliott]

Determining the national championship has several routes depending on your objective. Currently the committee is trying to determine the best teams. Some want entertaining games. I think it should be earned based on winning a conference championship. It should get A little interesting how players pick schools now that they can get compensation besides scholarships.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Tee Higgins has recovered from his head injury

 

[NutterButter]

Those clemson trainers are performing concussion miracles tonight.   

 

[Beef Ravioli]

I hate to see knees rolled up on like that. 

 

[Capella]

Those clemson trainers are performing concussion miracles tonight.   

lol

 

[Blue Dot Orange Dot]

Uh oh.  Dobbins down again. 

 

[NutterButter]

Oof, dobbins hurt.   Thats huge.  

 

[Beef Ravioli]

That hurts! 

 

[joffer]

that ain’t good

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Ohio State could put little marijuana leaf stickers on their helmets and nobody would notice.

Define nobody

Those Clemson researchers must be on the cutting edge of head injury recovery.

 

[AAABatteries]

LSU winning this game too - injuries, suspensions, these two teams banging each other up.

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Trevor Lawrence looks like the love child of Jeff Spicoli and Brienne of Tarth.

 

[Zegras11]

Lol.  Targeting the kicker. 

 

[NutterButter]

How did he miss that block?

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Buckeyes are dirty.

 

[Blue Dot Orange Dot]

What a stupid play there. No reason to do that. 

 

[Capella]

Ohio State is making way too may mistakes to win this. 

 

[Pipes]

Ohio State not full of high IQ players.  How stupid.

 

[facook]

OSU fan but I simply can't watch college football anymore. I'm done with it. Put skirts and flags on them and be done with it.

Here's a little something I like to call the NFL:

 

[ILUVBEER99]

OSU is falling apart.  Let them punt there.  You have lead and you're gonna get ball on the 50.  unreal
