You know what? Chicken butt.
Ok. Thought for a second there was Clemson news about to drop.

I couldn't help myself. After watching OSU play Saturday, I wanted to see the carry-overs (especially the guys who saw some time on defense) from that game and see how they performed on the big stage last year.
I was hoping it would make me feel better about what I saw Saturday and how the 2020 defense has a bunch of guys who may have not started but have played signicant snaps and have experience to continue the defensive dominance that we have come to expect each year.
All it ended up doing was just making me angry again after seeing us piss away a 16-0 lead that should have been a 24 to 28-0 lead with 4-5 mins left in the half and make me feel more anxious about the back end. Wade, Okudah, and Arnette were all over the place. Need to see the DB's improve on run-fill and coverage vs. a good throwing attack before I can sleep easier at night.
Dobbins' swing pass drop at the goal line, KJ Hill's ball off the face mask on the deep ball (should have been a PI.... DB was early), Mack's near catch in the back of the endzone where he was about 6 inches out, Dobbins' missed screen pass, and then the infamous targeting call on Wade that kept the drive alive and Clemson eventually scored their 1st TD of the game. All make me cringe. Game was over.
I think I just threw up.
Back to the guys from last year: Harrison, Friday, Tyreke Smith, all made some plays in that game so I think we are all hoping they can take the next step. Proctor can certainly lay the wood, but still not convinced he is a future star. For whatever reason, Browning looked lost on Saturday again.

It’s weird The last game of last year everybody was talking about the QB run. I would have assumed the goal coming in to the year ..that will never happen again. Then on Saturday a team with questionable pass receivers and two run first QB,s ran anyway. It was a little disappointing but this season isn’t about Nebraska..it’s about winning the Big 10 and having a chance to go farther. That hasn’t changed yet.

This is my final answer on the '19 version of this game:
The odds of getting 9 consecutive heads in a coin flip is 1/512 or ~.00195%
Clemson was getting smoked and needed not one, not two but about 9 things in a row to go their way....and they got every last one of them.
The two teams rematched a year later and the ass whipping resumed but this time without the one in 512 long shot happening and the world saw what should have happened both years.
OSU is clearly second best to Bama right now, but Clemson is just as clearly behind OSU.

I don't think I've ever seen one call change a game as much as that targeting call on Wade did. That game was literally all OSU until that horse shit breathed life into Clemson. That doesn't happen, it's 16-0, Clemson has to punt, Wade stays in the game, OSU probably wins going away. Glad you guys got to right that wrong in 2020.
