Absolutely, karma or irony both work. From a technical or severity sense, not even close. And if you count it as irony, it's only because of all the Clemson bitching over a targeting call after Wade being ejected last year.

Right. 22 year olds are morons mostly. You can make a first step the right way or the wrong one.
I'm 47 and mostly dumb. I probably would have kicked the guy and Instagrammed it in 1995.

What happened to my ¤cash?
So, technically Rutgers had one more productive drive in the third quarter than Clemson?

Same...
Yeah, also in terms of timing, it was in the second quarter and the QB went out for 1 play, and replay created both targeting calls since neither crew called it live, and gave first downs that would have been hard to come by. And then the teams each scored a TD shortly after the QB came back. Although Fields felt the after-effects much more than Barbie did.

He literally needs to keep his head up, otherwise he'll end up paralyzed. The way his neck compressed was frightening.

Very true. Barbie faked an injury to get the call, while Fields actually was injured. Critical distinction.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
The Ohio State 49-28 win over Clemson on Friday night will go down as one of the most cathartic in program history.
After a year full of heartbreak, uncertainty and confusion, Ryan Day’s Buckeyes shed tears of joy and permitted themselves — finally — to take a breath. Clemson has been vanquished, last season’s devastating ending has been righted and the Buckeyes are one win away from the most improbable national title in the history of the sport.
And without the Buckeyes fight, none of it would be possible.
Justin Fields is as tough as quarterbacks come
After the celebration was over, Justin Fields dragged himself back up the tunnel and entered the postgame press conference room. He let out a groan, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as the pain from the previous four quarters finally seemed to catch up with him. There has never been any doubt about the superstar quarterback’s toughness, but he entered legendary status with what he battled through against Clemson.
Fields added to a legacy that already included his famous return from the medical tent to deliver a gorgeous touchdown pass in The Game a year ago, adding an encore by bouncing back from a brutal, illegal shot to his ribs by jogging back out on the field to hit Chris Olave for a score. There will now be plenty of questions about his status for next week against Alabama, but clearly Fields will do whatever it takes to compete for the Buckeyes.
Ohio State continues to suffocate rushing attacks
Clemson was supposed to have the personnel in the backfield to crack the code against the Ohio State front seven. After all, they had a record-setting running back, a mobile quarterback and previous success against the Buckeyes a year ago. But the Silver Bullets were quite clearly ready for the challenge, and they were utterly dominant in holding Clemson to 44 rushing yards on 22 carries. Considering just how far the Buckeyes had fallen two years ago defensively, the work done by bunch of veteran players and a revamped coaching staff on that side of the football has been nothing short of remarkable.
Even with the defensive line a bit shorthanded with two key contributors unavailable, that unit consistently owned the line of scrimmage and allowed the hard-hitting linebackers to consistently read and react to anything Clemson tried on the ground. After all of the criticism, it was fitting that three-time captain Tuf Borland added a defensive MVP trophy to his collection in the Sugar Bowl.
