2021 Sugar Bowl - Ohio State vs Clemson 7PM on ESPN

[J.R. Juniors Junior Jr. 1113]

I'm just shocked a white linebacker named Skalski plays for Clemson and not OSU.

[Doc Sam Beckett 5911]

Fuck off that's so fucking dumb.

Hit him with crown of helmet. Used to be called spearing. It’s been illegal for 40+ years

[hundredTT 578]

He’s fucking disqualified??? I see a penalty maybe, but college football has to change this shit. Ridiculous. 

[ChemicalHorn 364]

Bullshit dude was going in with the shoulder and fields spun into his helmet. 
 

Also fields needs to learn how to slide.

[mdmost 44116]

So spearing is targeting?

[THUJONE 4550]

That was a perfect tackle. That's how tackles are made. You don't fucking throw your head back to make a tackle. The targeting to the head I totally get. But to the body? Fuck that.

Serious question: how do you tackle anyone anymore ?

He needed to have his head up, or at least lead with the shoulder.

It took these idiots 2 minutes to recognize clear targeting

Please tell me how that's "clear targeting". What did 47 do that he shouldn't have done? Try to make a play on the ball carrier?

[XYZ 2154]

47 gone

Yeah, that has always been a penalty.

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

Skalski is definitely on roids. 

[Macklemore 2946]

Calling that targeting is a disgrace

Fuck that noise.  He didn't slide.

It’s actually not about Fields. It’s to protect Skalski in this case. 

[GTX Horn 1725]

That isn't targeting. Give me a break.

[runthebone 8380]

Day should be fired for sending him back out there

 

Say that, you fucking cunt Herbstreit.

Clearly you can't. So dumb. And I took osu moneyline.

Can't lower the head anymore. Gotta see what you're tackling.

That's a good rule to protect the defensive player from breaking his neck. 

[JMFP 1126]

So spearing is targeting?

Yes

[Vic Mackey 48035]

That is absolutely targeting if half the other shit is called we see these days. No doubt about it. 

[elfenix 34792]

Nice job dumb fuck. Touchdown buckeyes

[Doc Sam Beckett 5911]

Fuck this shit

[Fudge Nuggets 19484]

Fuck your face Clemson. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Always love the morons that hit/slap/beat their teammate that is obviously in a lot of pain.

on 3rd down and within 2 yards of the line to gain? Nah

[Slacks 7081]

Targeting af

[mdmost 44116]

Hmm. Perhaps Dabo should've spent less time whining about Ohio State getting in by playing less games and more time gameplanning on how to beat them.

That was not spearing. Jesus. Not even close. He led with his shoulder and Fields twisted into the hit.

It is targeting 100%. You cannot lead with the crown of your head. That was an easy call.

[MrPhlegm 3413]

fields seems like he does not suck

[USNALonghorn 5198]

Can’t believe Day sent him back out.

It’s not targeting.  It was technically  spearing, but would never be called in real time.  Replay sucks.  

[taybo20 3042]

Clearly most the posters don’t understand why it’s targeting and that in this case it’s not about the hit fields took...it’s about skalski lowering his head to initiate forcible contact endangering himself, from concussion or neck compression/fracture

That's not what happened dipshit

[texifornia 59084]

Fields absolutely just felt some pieces of rib rub up on his organs. Dude does not feel good.

Fields fucking twisted right into his fucking helmet, if he didn't he would have got a shoulder in the gut. fucking ridiculous.

[dcar00 15003]

he's trying to hit him with the shoulder and Fields turns at the last millisecond.  that happens ALL the time on plays in the game.  it doesn't happen in the open field.

if you are trying to hit someone low you are going to lower your head.  Its impossible not to.  the rule is such shit and puts the defender in an impossible position.

Try to keep him out.

[Stunns38 3806]

Unless they inject Fields with painkillers and Moxin doesn’t stop it, the backup will play the 2nd half and we’ll have us a game. We shall see

It isn't worth it. There is a whole other half plus half this quarter left. Selling out for a 1st down at this junction of the game is not worth the risk. He was in pain after making that simple pass he just did. He's a tough sob to even go back out there.But that was way too wreckless. He paid the price.

[BurntOrange&White 42020]

Big 12 refs so ofc they’d call that targeting. If this was sec crew it wouldn’t even have been reviewed.

Look at the reverse view. Crown of helmet is first thing that contacts Fields. I have treated 3 players for fracture dislocations after tackles like that. 2 were permanent quads one recovered
