Orange Bowl Open Thread
Tajh Boyd vs Braxton Miller. Lots of offense expected.
Let's hope Clemson's offense shows up for their bowl game this year.
Line: OSU -2.5
Over/Under: 71.5
Edit:
2014 Orange Bowl final score
Clemson: 40
Ohio: 35
Big night for Clemson offense
Sammy Watkins. 16 receptions for 227 yards (an Orange Bowl and Clemson record) and two touchdowns. What a beast!
Tajh Boyd also set an Orange Bowl record with 486 total yards.
I heard this was the first time Ohio lost when they score 35+ points. (insert sad panda here)

...and Maty Mauk is doing work for Mizzou.
It's like attack of the kids Michigan had a shot at.

January 3rd, 2014 at 9:32 PM ^
does. This is what Clemson does. They are the most talented team not to win anything.

to a play Michigan ran against KSU, except it was the RB throwing the pass.

January 3rd, 2014 at 9:36 PM ^
Yep. Negs don't lie

It never will be until people start realizing youth isn't the only problem.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:50 PM ^
Who has honestly said that the only reason the team struggled this year is youth?
And frankly, some young kids did play well. Ross had a good year, and Gedeon showed promise as a true freshman. Stribbling was around a lot of balls, and when in phase made some nice plays. Countess returned as a RS sophomore off a torn ACL to earn all-conference honors. Butt emerged as a very good TE toward the end of the year, and Funchess is probably the 1st or 2nd-best returning WR in the conference next year.
People around here are mad about the team underperforming, but there is player development that flies against the meme so it is being ignored. That's as bad as whatever fabricated "excuses" people keep railing against.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:56 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 10:07 PM ^
Yeah. This team isn't where people expect it to be, but the idea that it is full of underperforming players is patently false. I am not sure how the player development will look in years to come, but so far I think the team is improving incrementally and, one hopes, that will increase as the infrastructure around them becomes more stable.

Clemson must contain inside-out.

January 3rd, 2014 at 9:39 PM ^
Do we want OSU to win? Conference pride and all? Or fuck 'em?
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:41 PM ^
At kickoff I was all "B1G FOREVAH!!1111"
After two minutes of listening to Millen I'm all "FUCK OHIO!"
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
Ohio will take care of Ohio.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:40 PM ^
Clemson does not seem very disciplined.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:40 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:40 PM ^
These refs need to just put the damn flags away. They are ruining this game.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:43 PM ^
Bosa just got rolled up on. Could be serious he's still down. Looks like they are looking at the lower leg.
EDIT: Walked off under his own power limping slightly. Random Observation: He walks with his toes pointed super far inward. Forgot what the term for that is.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:45 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:51 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:42 PM ^
That Sammy Watkins, I be like dang. 120 receiving yards already?
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:43 PM ^
Boyd is a better athlete than Miller.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:43 PM ^
jockstraps are starting to litter the field.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:44 PM ^
Ohio's D is getting worked... I love it!
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:44 PM ^
Reeves just got owned.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:45 PM ^
The best thing about Ohio State is that yes, they're 24-1 over the past two seasons, but they have absolutely nothing to show for it.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:45 PM ^
What would you do, if you were a star collegiate player, and Matt Millen said that you'd be a great player "at the next level"?
Would you quit football?
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:47 PM ^
Especially for a wide receiver
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:49 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
than he was as a General Manager. He looks stupid. He sounds stupid. Of all of the dumb hirings that the William Clay Ford family and the Detroit Lions Football Club have made, I'd rate Matt Millen as the dumbest. Russ Thomas was really a very very good GM, compared to Millen.
I think of everyone at or from Penn State in an even lesser light, just by association with that idotic meathead Millen. This broadcast team (Joe Tessitore and Matt Millen) is one of the worst on television.
I wish there were a way we could get Millen on Penn State's search committee for a new head football coach.

Clemson taking it to Ohio D like WHAT!
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
A missed extra point in the Orange Bowl in THAT end zone.
Brings back great memories.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
Clemson looks like Michigan on Offense on Ohio's Defense.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
I know we won't see it, but it would definitely work.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:48 PM ^
Not looking good for our conference.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:50 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:48 PM ^
Is godaddy a porn site? It seems weird to have a porn site sponsoring a bowl game.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:52 PM ^
Don't get me started on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer slashfic site taxslayer.com.
