Rewatching Fiesta Bowl

Few notes from the first half:

-tOSU came out AGGRESSIVE. Clemson had no answers for the first half.
-tOSU stayed aggressive, threw it on 3 and 12 ish from their own goal line. Never took their foot of the gas
-Clemson got caught trying to substitute several times. Two for big gains and one for 12 men on the field
-Clemson got absolutely gashed up the middle by Dobbins. He could have ran for 300 if he didn’t get hurt.
-Dobbins dropped (hit the ground) a wide open TD pass to go up by 17
-Dropped a wide open TD pass on a screen (7:31 in game time)
-Fields misses a few “easy” throws to convert
-Clemson defense is very good in the red zone, but tOSU missed out on TWO wide open TDs
-Clemson has the chance to pick off Fields twice, and missed out. They jumped a slant in the end zone and a crossing route over the middle of the field
-Vice versa, TL should have been picked off twice
-Their LB plays everything, and he is everywhere
-Their DL is strong, but slow. OSU held a strong pocket and gave fields time. Fields felt pressure though and rushed it
-Trevor is tough to tackle, he is a big boy. OSU got him a few times behind the line
-TL really struggled with the zone defense
-Clemson likes to run outside and TE is fast
-Clemson converted several 3 and short with a QB keeper. TL was not scared to get hit. He dropped his shoulder and played big boy football.
-OSU DL got through the Clemson o-line a lot.
-Wade targeting on the TL is suspect at best. Clemson should have had to punt 4 and 13 with 5 minutes left in the first half
-Clemson’s first TD should have been a TFL. TE ran through 6 guys


tOSU had 300+ yards in the first half

Still 7:00 to go in the second quarter
