Orange Bowl - tOSU vs. Clempson

[Baz]

Should be a good game.

Go Coach M. and the Buckeyes!

[Baz]

Clempson wins the toss - elects to receive - and promptly scores a TD on a QB run through the middle.

Where was the Buckeye spy? Certainly they had one given Boyd's propensity to run.

Let's see what tOSU can do now....

[Baz]

Clempson threw Miller for a huge loss but was flagged for a throat slash and also coaching sideline interference which gave tOSU an automatic first down and new life. Miller just scored on a 33 yard dash to tie it up with 5 min. left in the 1st Qtr.

Wow.....

[Baz]

Clempson scores again to make it 14-7.

The tOSu punts it down to the 1.

Then on Clempson's first play...a pass play....Boyd gets intentional grounding in the end zone so tOSU is awarded a Safety.

Clempson had a terrible play selection there.....should have just done a quick slant or screen. Way too little time for a down field pass.....

Still in the 1st Qtr, now 14-9 Tigers.

Good game.

[Baz]

Defenses are starting to step up their game now....

[Baz]

Another Clempson TD....pass play not broken up by the Buckeyes although they were right there.

X pt. BOINKS........so now 20-9 - still in the 2nd Qtr.

Buckeyes better get going.....

[Baz]

Booyah....Ohio scores - 53 yard pass play.

I thought Braxton had an arm issue but guess not.

X pt. blocked - so now 20-15 Tigers w/ couple minutes left in the first half.

[Baz]

Ohio with another TD right before the half ends...and take the lead 22-20.

They also get the ball to start the second half.

I don't know about the Clempson defense...they are starting to unravel.....

Neither Ohio State nor Clemson have a defense. I don't know about Clempson, aren't they in the MAC?

Midway through the 4th Qtr. now - both teams have scored TD's - Clempson just missed a 2 pt. conversion very fancy trickeration play --- now 40-35 w/6 min. left in the game.

Buckeyes better get a TD very soon.....

[wdfifteen]

Great game and it was Urban Meyer's loss. He should have set Miller down for the whole 4th quarter. He was way too hurt to try to keep playing. It's a shame.

[lendaddy]

The whole game hinged on the muffed punt return by OSU, they had it dicked until that moment.

[Baz]

You might be right Patrick. That last pic was definitely due to his condition. Probably was a hard decision to pull a guy like that. He's a warrior as is Boyd....and Watkins.

In any event the Buckeyes had their opportunity there at the end.....and blew it. And like John Saunders said...to the victor goes the spoils.....

Good game - 3 interceptions in the last 2 minutes.....

That did make it exciting at the end. I thought for sure Clempson had blown it.....

That was a fun game to watch.
