there again, secondary out of place.

Will be interesting when Nolan gets back in for the Clemson secondary for the 2nd Half. Aside from that though, Venables' defense is getting abused for all the talk he gets as this amazing defensive coordinator. Fields is balling and the Ohio State o-line is the big key right now.

This has been one of Clemsons weaker defensive teams of the past 7-8 years and tOSU doesn’t have quite what they used to either. Both have strong offenses so should be high scoring on both sides.

I think everyone can stop wondering if the buckeyes are good. They are, really good

 

[SCNCY]

Buckeyes seem to belong.

They always had the talent to belong. To me, the question is did they deserve it considering the number of games other teams played compared to the Buckeyes.

If that wasn't a hold by the OSU wide receiver on Field's run I guess I don't know what it is any more.

If Clemson is running Heacock's dime stack they are doing it wrong. OSU receivers getting behind the DB's on the regular so far.

 

[Clonehomer]

Had to switch over to the Clemson radio broadcast channel. Less biased than the ESPN feed.

 

[cygrads]

Seems so. We'll see how they hold up in the 2nd half with only a 6 game season.

If anything OSU is fresher having played so many fewer games.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Dot the i!!!! O-H!

 

[CloneGuy8]

I wont be surprised if Ohio State wins. I just think its crap they were allowed in at only playing 6 games; a lot less fatigue than other teams.

This is more Clemson looks like they’ve never played defense.

 

[clonedude]

Alabama has to be drooling right now over getting to play the winner of this game.

 

[heitclone]

Will idiots still try to throw out the Big 12 doesn't play defense narrative? This is going to be at track meet.

Lots of missed holding so far. Not shocked with this crew.

Smith is going to have 6 tds minimum

 

[Gunnerclone]

Oh yes that guy just dropped a shoulder breaker on Etienne

Forgot they had that option on. I'm switching now. I can't stand Herbie and Fowler at all.

The problem has been and always will be that there are certain teams that have to prove they don’t belong while the other 95% have to prove they do belong. tOSU, ND, Alabama and Clemson are the 5% that start with the expectation they’re in until they make it so hard to keep them in the top 4. It’s not fair but it’s the way of CFB and I don’t see it changing with ESPN and others controlling the narratives.

And that the big 10 changed the rules to allow them to get in

 

[StPaulCyclone]

So is defense optional in the big10 and ACC now? This is going to be a track meet

Other leagues have finally caught up to the B12. No they are trying to learn B12 defenses. Doesnt fit the tired, uninformed narrative about the B12.
