Sugar Bowl: #2 Clemson v #3 Ohio St (ESPN, 8PM EST)

[volmanNC]

Is that really a fumble??

 

[VolFreakJosh]

His whole body is down with hand on ball. Wth?

Look again.

The ball was coming out.

He didn’t have full possession of the ball.

 

[RiverVol]

eh... it was loose, but he clearly had his hand firmly on it, and he was down. it was not "loose". bum call.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

BUST, book it. You heard it here.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Ok thoughts... was that a fumble or no?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Ok thoughts... was that a fumble or no?

No

 

[joevol33]

Not a fumble imo. He's down, hand on ball but jmo

 

[peerless98]

Ok thoughts... was that a fumble or no?

I think so!

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

How are they calling this a fumble?

was losing control as he was going down

 

[feathersax]

Can hear Don Meredith: "Turn out the lights..."

 

[RiverVol]

wow. That's a technicality if I've ever seen one. The Player was down, the player had the ball under his hand'control, and the play was not blown dead.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Not a fumble imo. He's down, hand on ball but jmo

The ball was coming out.

He didn’t maintain full possession, hence why it was a fumble.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

eh... it was loose, but he clearly had his hand firmly on it, and he was down. it was not "loose". bum call.

I thought he was grasping it but the review showed his hand was just laying on it. That is not control.

 

[1986sugarvols]

So if his elbow or knee is down no fumble, but whole body it's a fumble ok I get it

 

[RiverVol]

Lawrence is killing his $$$ tonight. He is absolutely not making a (positive) difference.

 

[allvol123]

2021. Looks like Clemsoning is back in style.

 

[Bryan1]

I guess a hand on the ball is not enough to consider he had control.

 

[joevol33]

The ball was coming out.

He didn’t maintain full possession, hence why it was a fumble.

I saw it coming out, but then he's completely down, hand on ball, then they take the ball. Should be dead, but jmo

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

wow. That's a technicality if I've ever seen one. The Player was down, the player had the ball under his hand'control, and the play was not blown dead.

He didn’t control it. Hand was just laying on top of the ball.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I just tuned in, really surprised by the score. What’s gotten into Ohio State? Lol

The fewer games may have helped them get fresh. But mainly Dabo being vocal against them getting in may have fired them up. And breaks have gone their way. Clemsons glue guy to defense ejected for targeting when Fields lowered and spun and dudes helmet went in his ribs.

Stick a fork in the 's , thanks for your participation. Looks like the number 11 team was overrated.

 

[peerless98]

I saw it coming out, but then he's completely down, hand on ball, then they take the ball. Should be dead, but jmo

The rule calls for control. If he had control, they wouldn't be able to just move his hand.

 

[1986sugarvols]

That’s a fumble.

Ball was coming out

Yes it was but 16 recovered with his whole body on the ground.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I saw it coming out, but then he's completely down, hand on ball, then they take the ball. Should be dead, but jmo

He was not grasping the ball, big difference in establishing control.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Boy was I wrong. I was certain Bresee was going to be a bust.
