Sugar Bowl: #3 Ohio State 49, #2 Clemson 28, Jan 1 in New Orleans

[BuckeyeNation27]

Speaking of that, remember when a handful of Clemson players randomly tested positive for ostarine?

There’s a robust PED testing program in place pre-playoff this year, right?

If you know about it, so do they.

I think it’s already been mentioned, but hopefully we’re also disguising our signals well.

Follow the Signs: How Clemson Football Mastered the (Totally Legal) Art of Signal Stealing

In Ohio State’s first five possessions, it produced four scoring drives and 290 offensive yards on 35 snaps, 8.29 yards per play. The next eight possessions led to one scoring drive, 243 total yards and 4.86 yards per play. Did Venables’s support staff crack the Buckeyes’ play-calling code during the game? A couple of staffers at other schools suggested it.

Clemson has all kinds of talent. No doubt.

And I suspect it’s very very hard to jump out to a big lead against them.

.....but I bet them sumbitches would roll over and quit if it did happen.

Can he get an "Amen" from the congregation?

P.S. ShowMe, I was born and raised in Saint Louis.

I posted it in Clemson and Dabo thread the wend of the notre dame game but not in here. It does potentially explain some of Dabo's black magic

 

[Buckeneye]

Not a single Clemson fan this time around to talk shop.

That's just disrespectful.

Given the short turnaround compared to normal Bowl Season, I wonder how possible it is to invert signals or have a different signal set for the 2nd half? I would suggest different signal sets for the 2nd and 4th quarters, really, but that's probably really pushing it on this shortened timeline. The concern obviously is something like that could completely screw up efficiency and execution after a season of consistent signals. But damn if I don't want them to throw a wrench into Venables' code-cracking machine somehow.

They could have 3 guys sending in the signals, and alternate from drive to drive which one has the active signals. That’s a fairly simple way of complicating the deciphering process.

To their credit they didn't quit last year even though they were really getting smashed in the face for the first 1.5 quarters.

We didn't score touchdowns on those drives though. If we did, ballgame

Watched a little more Clemson and IMO if we don't play more zone or if we don't at least bring pressure when we play man we are in trouble.

Surprisingly Clemson does a ton horizontally but what they're so good at is setting up plays off of that.

So many ifs from that game... for instance if JK is fully healthy is there any doubt he picks up the first down and then we run the clock out at the end?

Fuck we need to win this game.

Friday yet?
