clemson vs. Tosu -- Sugar Bowl/CFP Semifinal game thread

[Sooner Lion]

We have not had an OL like OSU since 1994. They are dominating up front

 

[bison13]

The TE for osu is a fantastic blocker.

 

[NittPicker]

Clemson needed that. Even a FG there would have been tough.

 

[AWS1022]

Clemson needed that.

 

[HazletonLion]

I'll say one thing between ND & Clemson, that ACC schedule showing it's reality.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

I really wasn’t looking forward to seeing either team win tonight but it feels pretty good watching Clemson get stomped at this point.

Also, I don’t remember seeing OSU’s tight ends all year. Day obviously saw something in his game planning. Love when you can actually see a plan take shape.

LOVE coach day.

 

[Nitwit]

OSU still may not win but they sure have proved they belong!

Fields has been unbelievable. He’s earned a lot of respect to play well after the targeting to his ribs. I was wondering if he may have cracked ribs and is playing through the pain. It seems like it could be dangerous to do so but I don’t know what they can check in in the health tent.

Anyone know that nasty Bear in the first clip?

Fields has forced 2 in the redzone. First one he got lucky on as the Clemson DB whiffed. Granted it was tipped but that was double coverage.

 

[doofis]

superior ath-a-letes in this game

 

[The Spin Meister]

Dude has broken ribs. You watch

Right into the back of the rib cage.... Man, that has to hurt. The kid did have pads back there, but the hit appeared to be just on the edge. That's going to be a hell of a contusion if not a broken rib.

punctured lung?

My guess..... broken scapula as the hit was a bit higher on back.

Nice TD there. We are watching some of the finest athletes that money can buy.

For a consensus All American, Shaun Wade doesn’t play like one.

Compare him to Surtain at Bama, for instance. Not even close.

 

[MJG-90]

Big turn of events there. OSU was driving to go up 42-14. That could have been the dagger. Instead it’s 35-21 and we have a game again.

 

[AWS1022]

For a consensus All American, Shaun Wade doesn’t play like one.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[PearlSUJam]

I hate both teams, Dabo is cultish, and ND sucks but the advantage of tOSU being fresh and playing half as many games as Clemson is a huge factor in this game.

Fields not the same after the hit...

 

[Chickenman Testa]

I was thinking the same thing.

I think he opted out

Can’t imagine what D. Smith from Bama would do to him.

Kind of like the advantage Clemson has every year getting to play weaklings all year to get into the playoffs.

Liberty High.

There was a picture of Hartenstine in the locker room. He hit the forearm sled and had it off the ground.

Met Chuck Bednarik in the wrestling room there. He was doing some sort of shoot and stopped by on a Saturday morning when a bunch of us were working off some holiday cheer. Every knuckle on his hand looked as if a golf ball was inserted. Hard.

 

[Chris92]

Shaun Wade keeps playing himself out of the 1st round.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Fields looking like an Italian soccer player there

Yeah even the health of it all. Fresh and ready t9 go.

 

[RU31trap]

The entire OSU O-Line look like they’re first round NFL prospects.

 

[The Spin Meister]

Did the ref just give Fields a standing eight count? Looked like he was asking Fields if he was ok.

 

[NittPicker]

Fields with the flop. He'd be a great soccer player.

 

[WDLion]

Big turn of events there. OSU was driving to go up 42-14. That could have been the dagger. Instead it’s 35-21 and we have a game again.

Yep. That could be the break Clemson needed.

 

[nclion97]

Imagine if Venables and Don Brown were coaching at the same time...Herbie’s head might explode.

 

[HazletonLion]

Fields with the flop. He'd be a great soccer player.

Grunting like a female tennis player.

 

[AWS1022]

That’s a TD for OSU in the Big.

 

[djr4rebs]

Elbow touched initially. Knee touched on the back end. Lol

 

[Chickenman Testa]

That’s a TD for OSU in the Big.

The replay would have not worked if against us

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

That’s a TD for OSU in the Big.

Yep. There would be a camera malfunction or something like that.

 

[nclion97]

Yep. There would be a camera malfunction or something like that.

Nah. They’d just change the rule at the last second. Much easier.

 

[PSUHarry33]

28 gets low

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Targeting guy got run the fvck OVER LOL

 

[m.knox]

Jesus.... "Brett Venable" defense is replacing "Don Brown defense".

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

BOOM!
