OSU fans are pissed!

Could not happen to a better fan base than OSU. They are on the same level as UGA fans. They lost the game because their QB and WR made a critical mistake at the end of the game. And I was supper frustrated watching the OSU offensive line hold play after play and never get called.

I thought it should’ve definitely been a fumble because his 4th step was hitting the ground at the same time that the ball came out. How many steps do you need to establish it as a catch. I think if that play would've happened in the end zone they’d have called it a td.
But that one call aside...Ohio state has nobody but themselves (and coach) to blame. Day might be a good play caller or qb coach but he didn’t have the guts to play the way they needed to. They settle for fgs 3 times inside the red zone and went conservative after establishing a lead. They also had a chance to run out the clock late but shoes to run clock and punt the ball. They were at Clemson’s 38 with under 3 minutes facing a 4th and 4. If he’d have had a great play drawn up and had the guts to go for it (and convert)...they’d have won the game. Instead they choose to play to “not lose” and they lost

Good, I hope they fire up the media too. Honestly, I don’t care about the call on the field. I’m just hoping they light a fire under the SEC to change their officiating on the field and in the booth. All season the SEC has missed huge fouls or made terrible calls that ruined games. While I enjoy the fact that Ohio is feeling the pain, I do hope maybe something will finally be done

Nothing will be done about the crappy SEC refs. Ever!

I don't blame them for being mad. That was a catch and a fumble. We have come to expect ridiculous calls that hurt us, but I think that was something new for them. At any rate, I don't care who it is, I hate bad calls.

Targeting call and roughing the punter ultimately cost them the game. That comes down to discipline. Sure, the refs sucked, but both those calls were correct according to the rules as they are written. Not a fan of targeting personally, but it's a rule, so they have to enforce it.

A couple years ago I heard Steve Shaw, I believe, explain that in situations involving potential fumbles that the refs are to allow the play to continue and use replay to get the call correct. The argument that “there wasn’t enough evidence to overrule the call on the field” doesn’t apply to the play they’re screaming about. Sadly, professional announcers & even refs in the booth were ignorant of that position.

Ohio St has nobody to blame but themselves. 3 fgs instead of tds in the 1st half, and their offense stalled in the 2nd half. I thought all the calls were the right call. although the completion/fumble call was close.(prob should have stayed a fumble since it was called that way on the field) I thought it was incomplete in real time. Things get skewed when you replay it in slow motion.

I agree but he actually technically did not completely secure the ball and make a football move.

I thought they said at the time that the ruling on the field was a catch and a fumble, so don't they have to have clear evidence otherwise to overturn it?

This. Also, it's not like every call went against tOSU. That huge targeting penalty was a legit call and it was the 2nd time Lawrence's head took a blow from the top of someone's helmet, the other time didn't get called.

When it happened real time I saw it as a drop, in slow-mo it looked like a catch then the defender knocked it loose. When they played it again at full speed there's no way it was a catch. If you imagine the scenario where the receiver is in the end zone, would he have had possession long enough to signal a TD? I don't think so.

This is how I felt about it too. Watching it in real motion, I thought there was no way that was a catch. What's a catch and what's not a catch is so murky. It's the most problematic part of football officiating. They're not calling it a TD if he's in the endzone, that's for damn sure.
