I’m one block away from the local sportsbook downtown.

might go bankrupt them with this 2nd half bet. Fuck a Clemson

Because he got blasted out of nowhere. Who cares if they did or didn't? The rule allows for review...which they correctly did. Then they correctly applied the rule. He hit Sunshine in the face with the crown of his helmet. It's the definition of targeting.

Sunshine is 4 inches taller and ducked his helmet into the hit. Then flopped around on the ground like he was dying. It’s a bullshit rule capriciously applied as usual.

Wow. Honestly we have two really strong teams battling it out. They were not going to roll over for us.

Actually, I think they were, but some poor execution let them off the hook and now it's anybody's game.

It was targeting... that said 16 is much bigger than Wade so what's he supposed to do?

That changed everything. EVERYTHING.

Nice fucking face mask on Chase tho btw

I honestly think the D is fine outside of 1 or 2 plays. I'm looking at Fields, he's thrown some really bad passes especially on that wide open pass to Dobbins for what should have been an easy TD. Hopefully he comes out and balls out the second half.

Fields needs to settle down find Olave and Wilson.

Honestly, if it takes slow motion to determine if it's targeting, it's not.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

If they can throw the late flag for targeting they should be able to throw a late flag for face mask. Offsetting penalties.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Get back to that tempo and dont stop until they tap out!

Wasn’t on the board when it happened, but anyone defending the play after replay is crazy. Thems the rules.

Then there should be 3-4 more Clemson and OSU players ejected. If an offensive players ducks his head right before contact, it's not a penalty. You can review and watch till the cows cond home, but you cannot possibly expect any defender to adjust st the last second. And you can go back and retroactively review about 8 other plays that half and kick out more starters.

That foul was put in place to decrease headhunting and launching at guys' heads. Not to pause and review 10 plays from multiple angles and hand out ejections

 

[lvbuckeye]

We got this. Fuck them.

If you don't believe Burrow and LSU are legit, you're headed into the abyss of pain.

If you're scared of LSU repeating that performance against either of these actual Ds, you're nuts.

 

[Jake]

Why didn’t they call it on the field? Cmon man, that was an obviously motivated makeup call, like most targeting review add-ons.

Cmon man, this isn't BWI. By rule it was targeting. The problem is the rule is too broad.

Still not an excuse to let Barbie run 67 yards for a TD, and if we let that call cost us this game then we were never championship material.

Receivers have also had some drops that cost us at least 2 tds.
