re: Hey OSU, how bout those SEC refs?

Payback for the shite Big10 officials in the UGA/Bama game.

From my experience with dealing with them, Ohio St fans are ALWAYS robbed by the officials every time they lose a game. They never lose it, the officials stole it from them. The targeting call was textbook, it has been called like that all year long. Was it a fumble or not a fumble? Live, I though it was a non-catch, but like the refreeing guy on the telecast said - you can't judge a catch by slow motion. Slow motion makes it look like the guy had the ball for five seconds. The roughing the punter was called without hesitation by the on-field crew. I thought it went past a running into the kicker call.

I will say there seemed to be some bias, litteraly every major call went Clemson’s way. I believe the touchdown on the fumble should have stood because they said and I quote you can’t judge a “football move” in slow motion, well the initial call was catch/fumble and if you can’t judge it by slow motion then how did they have evidence enuff to overturn it? The targeting call was iffy both players lowered their head and while it was helmet to helmet it wasn’t intentional. So was the ruffing the kicker, should have been running into the kicker

Was close, but I think they got it right. The game was actually well officiated. There were some tough plays that went to replay, but I think they got them right.
If I were an OSU fan, I would likely be cussing the refs, but not having a dog in the fight gives a more objective view.
The officiating was at least close enough that it can’t be blamed for the loss. OSU just did not perform well enough in the red zone. Clemson played decent red zone defense, but OSU shot themselves in the foot a couple of times when they could have iced the game.

this, they got the call right.
