Good story and a fair assessment. I don't buy 0-4io State being back so soon. It's the Clemson factor!

OSU fans ain't gonna like this one. Probably will have the author fired.

That was a good article assessing the game.

Particularly agree with this:

“ A play later, and Clemson has the lead, because of poor angles and missed tackles. Ohio State was tired, and it got lazy just a few times. That’s the story of the game. Not penalties, or injuries, but Clemson’s depth being stronger than Ohio State’s when the depth needed to kick in. Ohio State needed to be the more physical team for 60 minutes to win, and it just wasn’t able to do it.”

That’s often the case when you come out high on adrenaline and play at peak ability like they did early on. That wears off and then you have to compete. Clemson rarely comes out jacked up anymore - they just maintain intensity throughout and maybe save up a little extra for the finish. Kind of like running down the hill now is less intense but sustained.

However, the cracks were showing before this. Clemson didn’t just magically appear past midfield, and the drive that had led to this point was not impressive from the Buckeyes. Ohio State started missing tackles, getting to gaps just a little bit slower, and trusting its eyes over its rules. The defense was getting tired regardless of a penalty, this play just serves as a tidy explanation, but one that doesn’t in any way tell the story.



The touchdown on this drive really shows it. Poor angles, missed tackles, and a touchdown that should have been a loss on third down. These Buckeyes are tired from a full half of bending against one of the nation’s best offenses. That’s a massive task, and it takes a serious toll on a defense.

As soon as Clemson paired that fatigue with the correct adjustment to what Ohio State was doing in the blitz game and against the run, it was over, regardless of what the scoreboard said.

That’s the story of the game. LSU was excellent, nearly flawless, and entered with a well-thought out gameplan. Clemson was Clemson. The margin for error is razor thin, and LSU made one too many mistakes. The 2nd best Tigers can take more information from this game than any other this season, because this was a perfect representation of what it takes to win a national title in college football. If Coach O didn’t know before, he does now. If LSU wasn’t ready for the big time before, it is now. It just has to wait another year for another chance.

The game-winning ETN reception wasn't really due to poor anything with the defense. It was a great play call that was set up by Trevor's prior success running the ball.

Tim Tebow ain't the only one that can run that play.

Maybe fatigue was a factor because when watched it live, seemed like everyone on the field except ETN was in slow-motion. His acceleration from 0-20 mph is amazing.
