Chris Fowler is the new Brent Musberger Ohio State homer.

Its amazing what having impact players on the DL does for your defense.

They are begging for Ohio state to get something going, giving bogus beneficial spots.

These officials are not good. Lucky that was a td the didn't throw a flag for PI. That hit on Watson if that was a ND player would have been ejected.

Truth haha.

That was PI all day long and he didn't even reach for his flag.

Watching an Urban Meyer coached team basically do nothing on offense, simply because one interior lineman is hobbled, and Urban doesn't have a Plan B. I've heard all year long how that kind of thing NEVER happens to the great coaches like Saban and Meyer....

I haven't had any problem with Fowler or Herbie tonight.

I usually think they're the best pair to call a game on any network, but I think they have progressively gotten more and more into their own dialogue and how they are "good," and there are now times where they aren't even concerned about the game action.

A good example was earlier tonight, with Clemson up 10-0, OSU came up with a huge 3rd-and-1 stop to get themselves the ball back. It was a big moment early in a game where OSU needed a stop to try and stop the bleeding, but you wouldn't have known it listening to them. They literally didn't mention the big short-yardage stop; they kept jabbering about whatever they had been talking about during the whole drive, and kept jabbering even through the punt.

OSU gets a big stop in a playoff game where they need every little bit to get in the game, and it literally didn't get mentioned.

The disclaimer, of course, is that they were jabbering about some interesting back story concerning a player's extra motivation for the game, which is an awesome thing to infuse in calling the game. The problem is that there is no balance sometimes because of how they've evolved to where it's almost like they're trying too hard, and the actual play-by-play suffers.

Why does Clemson throw it deep? Their short to medium passing game is deadly and Watson's accuracy deep is horrible.

I get great enjoyment watching Venable's defense.

Clemsons WR block so good.

This is glorious, all the penalties, fumbles, dropped passes. I despise OSU.

I'm keeping a lid on it because I'm surrounded by OSU honks in my home tonight...but this is delicious!

JT Barrett is not a good QB shut that run game down and make him win that game.

Why would ABC not show the cheap shot OSU laid on the Clemson player on that return? Her Kelly and Fowler don't say a word about it.

Hopefully Ohio State feels the effects of this thumping on the recruiting trail as well.

I sense another Urban meltdown after this one. Wouldnt surprise me at all if he ended up firing some of his offensive staff.

That's what happens when you have a bad QB and your run game gets shut down.
