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)

Of course they'll just reload with another equally talented or better running back who will slash right through our defense that will be lined up in some kind of prevent formation every single play of the game.
January 3rd, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
Could the announcers knob-slob over Braxton anymore?? Geez!!
January 3rd, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
These announcers are seriously head over heels in love with Ohio. There is not a play they don't heap loads of praise on whoever gets the ball.
January 3rd, 2014 at 8:53 PM ^
Passing will be optional tonight until Sammy Watkins catches one.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
He caught one.
January 3rd, 2014 at 8:53 PM ^
Our D is as good as the D of the 12th ranked team! (Said with full knowledge that Clemson is incredibly overrated)
January 3rd, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
Would he be a good pick for the Lions? I think he would be quite an addition.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
Not his chest...that doesn't happen as much as you may think.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
I hope not, need a good DB before another offensive weapon.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
years. They have NO WR options other than CJ. They desperately need at least one, if not two, receivers.
I'm not against drafting a CB high(Dennard) because this draft is so deep at WR. But I lean towards a WR because the top WRs fit perfectly with Megatron.An offense of CJ-Lee/Watkins-Bush would be pretty damn explosive.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
I'd also take Marquis Lee.
January 3rd, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
So when an offense gets a personal foul, there is a 15-yard penalty with no affect on the down. When a defense does it, it is a first down for the offense regardless of down and distance.
How the fuck is that fair?
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
What's not to understand? Clemson had a personal foul after making a sack, turning fourth-and-an acre into a first down for OSU. OSU then had a personal foul. Down remains the same with a 15-yard penalty.
It is an inherent flaw in the rules system.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
Boyd making it look easy tonight. Sammy Watkins taking over!
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
LOL soooo easy.... at least Ohio had to make an effort to score.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
It's amazing how Ohio's defense has fallen off since Tressel.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
That. Defense. Sucks.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
OSU D SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
I bet Urbs wished he had GMatt right about now.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
Who are the three new starters in OSU's secondary?
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
Too bad he ain't wearing Maize and Blue. Oh yeah, he was one of those Buckle Up and watcg go elsewhere. Ann Arbor is still a better college town than Clemson.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:03 PM ^
If Shazier leaves that D is screwed even worse. They have not gotten better throughout the year.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
Not a chance in hell Fickell is still the DC next year.
Not like our defense was much better, though.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:04 PM ^
Hopefully Clemson doesn't beat up on them too bad so that they retain Fickell.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Would love to see Sammy Watkins playing with Calvin Johnson. May not last to pick 10 though..
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
No, just no. If Michigan is 13-0 or 12-1 going into the selection process they will be in the Top 4, it's that simple. Ohio losing this bowl game is not going to change that.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:17 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
bullshit. Our defense was much better than Ohio's.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Miller avoiding that tackle reminded me of Michigan trying to tackle Troy Smith. Bad memories.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Can I get some "over" action on maybe 140?
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Or an OSU safety.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
You gotta think that if you get down two TD's in this game, it'll be tough sledding to get back.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
Armani Reeves should be at Michigan.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Didn't he commit to PSU first though? Did Michigan finish second in that race?
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
But I believe after the JoePa/Sandusky debacle he decommited and it was a Michigan/Ohio St. battle.
We could've had him. Tommy Schutt too.
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:09 PM ^
Doh.
