The most dominant defensive player in college football history declared for the draft

You could have put his name in the thread title

Why is every post on here a “gotcha” thread. This board is turning into the SECR

After being bombarded with it every play for the last 2 months, even when he's on the bench, you have to assume everyone knows who I'm talking about.

Put some respect on Ferrick Thomas’ name

ETA: I misspelled his name

I mean the hate for Young, and by extension OSU, is absurd here

I have nothing against Young. This is more about the media campaign that surrounded him.


If, with a straight face, you can tell me that Chase Young is a more important football player than Joe Burrow, then you're just selling something (referring to all the talking heads leading up to the Heisman announcement). As good as Young is, that was just never the case.

You think that game was called fairly?



OSU fans have all said OSU should have made a few more plays and the refs wouldn't have had an influence in the outcome. They didn't make those plays, so the blatant misses by the refs created an issue.

It's not just OSU fans who have said they got hosed either

:lmao:

The Heisman isn't about the most important player. It is awarded to the most outstanding player. There is a legitimate argument that Young is further above other DEs than Burrow is above other QBs.

I said for months Burrow should have won the heisman, and he did. Chase Young is a 'safer' first round pick, only because QBs in bad systems or on bad teams flame out often. I don't expect it to happen to Burrow, but it has happened to very good college QBs before

right cause LSU/So La fans would never claim a game was rigged because of a bad call that went against us

define fairly? A bad call, even an egregious one (see 2019 NFC CG) doesn't mean the game wasn't called fairly. And the only call tOSU has a legitimate beef is scoop and score fumble that was over turned. The targeting is a bad rule but called correctly.

What about 3 awful calls that were all on plays that greatly benefited Clemson and changed the game?

1. Targeting - egregious hands to the face not called on Young. Targeting would have stood, but replay the down

2. Roughing the kicker - OSU player was thrown down by his facemask and no call

3. Scoop and score - you covered adequately.

As I said, I agree OSU should have won in spite of these bad calls, and they didn't execute well enough. However, you shouldn't have to also beat the refs (as the Saints do because of Bountygate a decade ago)
