To be fair, it makes a difference when your first round corner is taken out of the game

That's what I mean by penalties.. it was clearly helmet to helmet. Shitty way to lose Wade but it was a good call

Roughing the kicker killer.

Look I'll completely admit we missed opportunities early in the game that would have won us this, but your crazy to say the replay booth didn't heavily sway the game towards Clemson.

I agree that the replay booth hurt us, but they made the right calls.

It would be easier to swallow if they called it the other way on the field. But no way all of those were indisputable.

I have no problem with the officiating. Buckeyes just made too many critical mistakes to win against a team as good as Clemson.

I think the more-talented team lost, but props to Clemson. They're real good. Hope they go out and beat LSU.

this. The refs didn’t drop 2 potential TD’s.
the refs didn’t dial up a stupid punt block that gave Clemson a 1st down that led to a TD.
the Refs didn’t force Ohio State to keep rolling Soft Boreland on the field.
OSU is the reason OSU didn’t win. period.

When the officals directly take 7 points off the board on a game you lost by 6 it's hard to take argue they didn't impact it. However Olave keeps running his route there and it might not matter

Impact? Yes, absolutely. Did THE REFS beat us? Nope. But, again, don’t put yourself in the position to let that impact the game, and don’t shoot yourself in the foot multiple times. Officiating sucking is a universal constant across sports, can’t let that impact the game by leaving points on the field and committing dumb penalties. It is what it is.

Remember when we used to win all of our games in Phoenix? Fungo remembers.

 

[Powair7s]

Everyone except clemson knows the best team didn't win.

 

[VictoryBelle]

I am so disappointed it had to end this way..... and to lose to THEM.

This. I'm just so disappointed that they lost to Clemson again. I really hoped this was it.

 

[KOBuckeye]

Nah I'm actually okay right now. Buckeyes played their hearts out. People blaming the defense or offense or whatever forget that we went up against a good fucking team too.

Proud of the effort the Buckeyes gave tonight.

I think that’s why it hurts so much right now. We had those fuckers beat and it was ripped away from us.

 

[Herb Kirkstreit]

No, because all the calls Buckeye fans are bitching about I thought were correct.

Three steps with a firm grasp and no bobble and a completion called on the field of play, only to be overturned, was the right call? It's a cold day in hell when 'ol Herby sees things more clearly than a regular who posts on here.

 

[SadSouthernBuck]

This one hurts boys and girls. We had this game. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

 

[cincibuck]

Roughing the kicker killer.

Yep, it really hurts when your team beats itself.

 

[TampaBuckeyes]

Losing Wade giving them a free TD. The roughing the kicker to a TD. The TD off the board. The TD off the board again. The refs hurt a lot.

 

[BayBuck]

No, because all the calls Buckeye fans are bitching about I thought were correct.

yep
