Semifinal: Ohio State vs Clemson (12/28)

[eastside_purple]

The thing is Ohio State’s defense actually is legit. Clemson hasn’t really played a defense of this caliber. It’ll be interesting to see what adjustments Clemson can make going forward.

Great start. That run reminds me of the Elliot run that broke the back of Bama in Ohio State's last National Championship season.

If the Bucks can shut down Clemson's O the next couple of drives this game might go the way of the earlier LSU/OK game. The question with Clemson has been about their schedule. The next couple of possessions should tell us a lot.

Pretty much the same schedule they had last year when they blasted Bama in the N.C. title game. I expect this game to go to the wire.

Big 1st down.

I don’t think they are as good defensively as they’ve been in recent years.

Maybe not, but the schedule is no different.

 

[BlueJayFan]

Great first quarter

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

Need to finish this drive with a td.

 

[Raider6309]

Dobbins is definitely OSU’s MVP. I like watching him play

 

[KingKong24]

Clemson hasn’t been hit like this in 3 years. I think number 23 is scared to get back on the field after Proctor ran him over on that 3rd down.

It seemed like the ACC was weaker this year then last year. Clemson lost a lot on D and I wasn't buying all the Tiger love folks were dishing. Ohio State is close to blowing this game wide open. Just Keep feeding Dobbs and don't get cute. Up 17 - 0 the Bucks will have all the momentum.

Great first quarter.

 

[eastside_purple]

It’s pretty obvious Fields isn’t close to 100% with that knee.

 

[lotr10]

Damn.

 

[eastside_purple]

That’s going to be ruled an incompletion.

 

[Yappi]

That's the right call. A little better pass and it would have been an easy TD.

 

[lotr10]

If the Bucks had scored TD's in the RZ this game might be over. But man 13 - 0 just doesn't feel safe.

 

[Raider6309]

Bad pass. Just run the damn ball

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

Looked like Dobbins was stretching the football across the goal line not knowing he was already across ? Too many fg's.

 

[Termite2]

Impressive game so far for the Buckeye's.

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

Bad pass. Just run the damn ball

Pass was right their, Dobbins has to hold onto it, tough catch yeah but still has to make the catch.

Yeah, definitely

I’ve seen nothing from Clemson’s offense to make me think they can have a lot of success against this defense. Ohio State looks bigger faster and stronger all over the field.

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

It helps a QB when you have top flight receiver's.

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

P.I.

 

[eastside_purple]

That was a big run by fields. Good to see.

 

[Raider6309]

That was a great catch

 

[eastside_purple]

Looking for Olave to make a play soon.

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

That was a great catch

Yeah but as soon as I sing their praises Hill lets the ball hit him in the helmet.

Agree. Clemson looks one dimensional on O. They aren't beating the Bucks with Trevor Lawrence carrying the ball 25 times.
