It was a good game. Shitty ending though. Sad it ended on a miscommunication. Sad JK Dobbins dropped two TDs too. Oh well. It is what it is.
For the first time ever I'll root for an SEC team. Go Joe!

That targeting call, which was NOT called on the field completely changed the game's momentum. Clemson would have been forced to punt, and instead got a PI call and then a TD. That drive was all the officials and Wade is a key cog to the D. He was the spy on Lawrence who had been completely shut down to that point. With Wade out, look what Lawrence did the rest of the game.
The scoop and score is the most controversial play and even ESPN is talking about it. A WR catches the ball, takes three steps without losing possession, then fumbles, it gets ruled that on the field, and then somehow the booth overturns it?
I hate to blame officials, but every single call went against OSU, and the penalties were grossly lopsided in Clemson's favor as well. The #1 defensive line in college football and not 1 holding call? How about the blatant hands to the face calls that could have been made on almost every play against #79?
End of the day Clemson got absolutely dominated and Vegas knows it. That's why prior to the game they were 7 point favorites against LSU and now they're 5 point dogs. It took three replay reviews to go against OSU, 2 dropped TDs, a huge miscommunication, and a clearly biased and/or incompetent officiating crew to beat OSU. The officiating was so bad I've got Michigan fans telling me OSU got fucked. Do you know how bad the officiating has to be for your hated rivals to admit your team got fucked?
Losing sucks, but nobody wins them all. Losing to officials is hard to swallow, and truly makes you question the integrity of the game.
As a reminder, this is the Clemson team that a federal wire tap caught an assistant coach admitting Dabo has a pay to play program in place and there's not been a single word from the NCAA about it.
Sorry, had to vent.

I'd say half the targeting calls I've seen o the NCAA were that way this year. Still doesn't make it less valid
It's not me, it's someone else.

Actually, I don't think it is valid.
First of all, I think the booth should stay the fuck out of games. If they're not going to buzz down and point out the constant hands in the face or holding, then why are they there?
Secondly, you cannot target a runner. That's a rule.
Third, when the runner lowers their head to make it targeting, it shouldn't be targeting.
Fourth, as Joel Klatt said in a tweet today, targeting needs to be fixed badly. If a hit is malicious, toss the kid. However, if it was unintentional, the kid should stay in the game. (And to be fair, that replay official would have deemed it malicious and tossed Wade anyway.)

Targeting is one of the few things the booth can buzz in for. Its literally their job to do it.
The OSU player should not have lowered his head. The End. I'm always going to err on the side of player safety

It's destroying the game. That hit was clearly not malicious and the booth buzzing in to eject a player clearly affected the drive and the outcome of the game. COnsidering every single decision the booth made was anti-OSU, it makes the game feel fixed.
IT was almost assuredly a concussion and him coming back in was probably bad for his health, but who gives a fuck? Clemson is paying players and handing out PEDs and nobody cares. As long as the NCAA keeps shoveling in money, who gives a fuck.

I'm not arguing that, however there are tons of other plays that cause the same injuries and nothing is being done. This is a singular play that is subjective and can directly influence a game based on opinion, instead of action on the field. It's bullshit and needs to be fixed.

The guy was legit tackled in the end zone. No flag. If someone came out and said the game was 100% fixed, tell me why they shouldn't be believed?

Seriously though, why the fuck would calls be coming in from Birmingham?
Go back to OSU losing the #1 spot as well, and now that looks even shadier. I'm thinking right now that the CFP has all the reality of the NBA or the WWE.
