Thought the same thing. Looked like the receiver broke off the route after the ball was in the air.

Why does a team get a trophy for winning the semi-finals?

Because playoffs of any kind in cfb will always be fucking stupid,....

I hope Clemson goes on to win the national title and then wins every game to start the 2020 season. Then on November 7th, 2020 Clemson incredible wining streak comes to an end on a chili night in South Bend, Indiana at the hands of Ian Book and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish!

I hope LSU beats the crap out of Clemson.
I dont know for sure but I'd guess they get a trophy because it's still the Fiesta Bowl, so they get a Fiesta Bowl trophy?

I'm probably not the one that should have passed judgment on Dabo. I stand corrected.
They shouldn't have won the game tho.

Take It as ya will, but a few peanut butter sandwich's as a side dipper goes great the first night.
Second night Is perfect for a juicy burger as the dippy.
Just my opinion on my chili. I've Never been let down.

As someone who doesn't care much at all for OSU I thought they got hosed on a few calls and will someone please tell Dabo that God doesn't favor his concerns regarding a football game.

Buckeyes can't stop talking about how they are clearly the better team and the refs jobbed them out on a "bullshit targeting call." I've found a lot of entertainment observing tOSU and ISU fans wallowing in their misery today.

I want Clemson to Winnie all. However LSU is no joke. Going to be a tough tough game.

I wanted Clemson to win because I want them to win it all, but OSU felt like the better team.

Their DBs are out of this world good, and not having Dobbins really hurt for ~1.5 quarters.
Dobbins is incredible, he's Ezekiel Elliot-good.

I was surprised Clemson didn't get #9 the ball more, he's also a freak but Dobbins is even more special, IMO.

I think with a healthy Dobbins OSU wins that 6 or 7 times out of 10, but it doesn't matter.

Clemson was over matched and OSU lost that game. Honestly, the thought/haunt of what if for OSU fans may be more delicious than the tears of blowouts.

Kicking FGs instead of scoring TDs came back to eventually bite OSU. Dobbins is an amazing player but had two dropped TD passes.

I can't stand OSU so maybe my opinion is slanted... I thought the targeting and the fumble return plays were both correctly reversed. Player lead with helmet, obvious. Player in real-time did not have the ball long enough to complete catch in my opinion. But I also think Trevor Lawrence might have gotten literally knocked out and I was surprised he did not at least get checked out.

Dobbins was hurt yes but so was Higgins. He’s Clemson’s most important player. If he had played the whole first half, Clemson would have looked a lot different too.

Fair point. In this matchup, Dobbins is a more important player, IMO.

Higgins is a stud but if he's in, he's being guarded by a corner being drafted before him. He's a difference maker, but Dobbins made a much bigger impact when he was in and healthy.

I can't prove it but I'm very confident if Dobbins doesn't get hurt, OSU has at least 1 more scoring drive.

Anyone else think that our linebackers look better in general than Clemson? They missed tackles, didn't fill gaps, looked out of position a lot.

Wasn't Ross also hurt for Clemson? Everytime I looked up the guy couldn't move his arm.

Good game. OSU is the better team IMO, but Clemson made better halftime adjustments.

I think Clemson scores one more with Higgins in. Not just because of his production but Okudah can only guard one of him and Ross. Without Higgins you can just focus on Ross. There’s a reason Clemson’s o looked like garbage without him.

Maybe.

To me, it was clear Dobbins and Lawrence were the best players on the field. I just think if Dobbins is healthy (and Higgins), OSU wins. But we'll never know.

Let's hope they're healthy against LSU.

True. There were a lot of injuries out there and coupled with Wades ejection it leaves a lot of what ifs. Hopefully that’s isn’t a problem in two weeks. This is the first title game I’m excited to watch since 16

Because it’s still the Fiesta bowl. Same reason teams get trophies for winning their regionals and advancing to the final four in college basketball and the same reason teams get AFC/NFC championship trophies or AL/NL championship trophies.

Saw this on Twitter so it’s dubious but wanted to see if someone could confirm. Is that really an ankle bracelet on Master Teague’s left ankle? I doubt it and suspect it’s a piece of equipment.
