However, you can't leave points on the field the way Ohio St. did, and expect everything to continue going your way all night.  If they convert those red zone drives into TDs?  We're looking at a 28-0 lead, in the 1st Qtr, and heading toward an LSU/Okla type of game.

Did the officiating effect the outcome of the game?  You betcha.

Should Ohio St. have allowed Clemson to hang around long enough for the officiating to even be a factor?  Hell naw..

I honestly think Ohio State got out-coached when all is said and done.

Refs botched some stuff.  Also didn't make some calls too.

Fields was pretty sloppy with his throws the whole game.

Dobbins getting injured early was a blow and his drops took points off the board earlier too.

The Buckeyes were in the driver's seat at the end of the game.

43 seconds left with 2 timeouts is by no means a state of panic.

Yet they stopped the hurry up offense and then proceeded to swing for the fences.

Not a fan of calling a timeout and then going for the whole enchilada first play after.

That was a bad call regardless of the WR switching route direction and slipping.

There was coverage by Clemson in the endzone.  It would have been a battle for the ball.

Just my two cents.  And congrats to Clemson for good job of hiding their blitzing.
