OSU Clemson Game Thread

[DHajekRC84]

Lawrence is either gonna get hurt or prove to be a strong Tom Petty dude..

And just before I hit Post....

 

[koleszar]

QB dipped his head into the tackle. That call is beyond bullsh*t.

 

[Plum Street]

How the hell do you call that ???

 

[DHajekRC84]

QB dipped his head into the tackle. That call is beyond bullsh*t.

I disagree. He totally led with the head.it was a spear regardless of position. My view. Damn!

 

[ru109]

Terrible call on the targeting.

 

[czxqa]

What a ******** targeting call

 

[dvb91]

+1

SEC refs inserting themselves into this game.

 

[czxqa]

And they totally ignored the illegal hands to the face and facemask against Chase Young. Damn near took his helmet off.

 

[RUsince52]

If Clemson scores a TD, they'll go for 2 to make it a one score game. The ACC plays that way.

 

[koleszar]

Clemson should thank the refs for that TD.

 

[Plum Street]

Refs making it a game

What ??

 

[DHajekRC84]

So funny the different pov in that call. Just interesting how I saw it so clear and so did others of opposite opinion.

 

[ru109]

Plus Clemson gets the ball to start the 2nd half. OSU needs at least another FG here before halftime.

 

[RUsince52]

Surprise, a kick. Oh well.

At first I didn't think it was PI but on reply it was. He was holding him pretty good.

 

[MadRU]

OSU red zone offense is why this is a game. Should be way up. Dobbins great runner but 2 drops were big.

If the QB doesn't dip his head and body into the play it's a square hit to the chest. Lawrence lowered his body position right before the hit.

"May go for 2"

Never use absolutes.
Always leave yourself an out.

Arguing 101.

 

[RU206]

The targeting call was correct. DB shouldn't dip his head and hit with the crown of the helmet. He needs to hit with his head up, so the facemask is what makes contact.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Yea they did miss that but that was targeting imo...I’ve seen similar called as targeting even if the tackled player head is lowered because the defender is also lowering his head and not keeping his head up.

 

[RU206]

If the QB doesn't dip his head and body into the play it's a square hit to the chest.

but he was leading with the crown of his helmet. Can't do that.

 

[DHajekRC84]

OSU needs to convert kicks to Tds. We've all seen this scenario before. Own the half yet 9 instead of 2 plus scores.

 

[rurichdog]

Dobbins has a couple of big runs, and several bonehead plays and runs into the wash for no gain. The game ain't over, son.

 

[dvb91]

Becoming a game of attrition.

 

[RUSK97]

Momentum has changed.

 

[DHajekRC84]

If the QB doesn't dip his head and body into the play it's a square hit to the chest. Lawrence lowered his body position right before the hit.

But I believe crown of the helmet hit ..leading with the helmet... Is still targeting. Guy never had his hands close to a wrap.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Rooting for turnover now...lol.

 

[RU848789]

Holy ****, what a run by Lawrence! Game on.

 

[DHajekRC84]

THAT was an amazing play. I am speechless. Much respect.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Wow what a run by Lawrence, would be good to have #1 pick next year

 

[MadRU]

And Clemson gets the ball to start the 2nd half. OSU in trouble

 

[koleszar]

Momentum spun on that targeting call, then pass interference got them in position to score.

 

[ashokan]

Amber alert for Chase Young

 

[chase07470]

Guy is coming flying in, naturally "leading with his head." The QB saw him coming and lowered his shoulder and dipped his head to meet the contact. What could the defender do? He committed to a spot lower than the head and that's all he can do. If the offensive player lowers into that contact zone, how is it the defenders fault? What if the QB had instead, jumped up? No flag. Moved laterally right, no flag...BS call. Changed the whole complexion of the game.

 

[RUSK97]

It almost seems like no one's seen Clemson play this year.

 

[nikoru09]

QB dipped his head into the tackle. That call is beyond bullsh*t.

yes sir..........he baited him...he dipped his head...and they got a bs call
I cant stand clemson

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Clemson has adjusted their D with Fields not much of a running threat tonight. His injury takes away a major dimension from OSU's O.

 

[scripts]

I disagree. He totally led with the head.it was a spear regardless of position. My view. Damn!

When you lead with your shoulder your head has to go with the rest of your body tough call

Your first sentence nailed it. You cannot ever come flying in leading with the crown of your helmet. Period. Anymore.
Head up, facemask first, arms out? Yes.
Its the old version of spearing.
I'm a hard *** d first guy. But I get that call.
