...N!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:33:49

It is so eery being in this city and this Superdome after seeing what it was like this time last year! Extremely bizarre. Nice day outside, high 60's and clear, but it's always nice weather inside the dome.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:34:27

Trevor goes out to midfield for the coin toss. Ohio State won the toss and deferred, so the Tigers will get the ball first!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:35:00

Etienne returns the kickoff to the 18 yard line. Bad starting field position fo the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:37:48

Completions to Amari and Trav for 19 yards and a first down!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:38:26

Complete to Trav for 26 more yards to the OSU 37!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:38:58

Dixon runs for 5 yards and lowers the shoulder!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:39:30

Complete to Cornell at the OSU 5! What a catch!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:40:02

Trav runs for 3 yards down to the 2 yard line. 2nd and goal.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:40:43

TD TREV!!! He outruns the Buckeyes to the pylon! 8 plays, 82 yards, 2:50 off the clock.

TIGERS LEAD 7-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:41:29

Sermon hit hard by Henry for one yard on his first carry!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:41:56

Sermon runs for 7 yards to set up 3rd and 2. Timeout Buckeyes.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:42:32

FUMBLE!!! Fields recovers, but the Buckeyes will have to punt on 4th and 2. Three and out for the D!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:43:13

Punt just barely crosses the goal line. I had a great view of it from the press box and called it from up here. Touchback.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:44:12

ETN runs for 2, and incomplete to Powell. 3rd and 8 for the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:44:39

UGH Trevor had Davis Allen wide open for a touchdown, but he missed him! Tigers go 3 and out.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:45:20

Great punt by Spiers, 57 yards to the OSU 21.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:46:01

Completion to Olave for 11 yards and a first down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:46:51

Good grief, completion to Sermon for 34 yards to the Tigers' 32. That's the longest reception of the season for Sermon! He averages about one catch per game for 10 yards or so.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:47:57

Yikes Sermon runs 32 yards for a TD. I guess his 331-yard game in the Big Ten Championship was no fluke!

TIED 7-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:48:27

Screen to Galloway for a 1st down! Ball at Tigers' 40.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:49:02

Complete to Amari for 16 more to the OSU 44! Amari took a big hit but held on.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:49:38

Trav stuck for just one yard. 2nd and 9.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:50:10

Complete to Trav for 16 more! First down at OSU 27!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:50:42

Complete to Ladson for 9 yards! Great to see Frank finally back! 2nd and one.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:51:11

Dixon runs for 15 to the OSU 3! First and goal!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 19:52:28

TD ETN!!! With that, he stands alone at 4th on the all-time rush TD list!

TIGERS LEAD 14-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:09:34

Good grief, Fields completes a pass to Wilson for 47 yards. 8-yard pass to Farrell ties the game. Took just 1:36 off the clock. Feels like a Big12 track meet!

TIED 14-14 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:10:38

Ugh Tigers go 3 and out and will punt to start the 2nd quarter.

TIED 14-14 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:11:08

Spiers punts 47 yards to the OSU 14.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:13:27

Good grief OSU marches right down the field again and takes its first lead on the tight end throw back to wide open Ruckert for 17 yards. Venables needs to make some adjustments in a hurry, or we're gonna have a shootout like we've never seen on our hands!

TIGERS TRAIL 21-14 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:16:30

Trav returns the kick to the 32 and is shook up. Looks like he's ok as he walks off the field.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:23:15

Ugh Tigers go 3 and out again. Trev tried to throw to Travis on 3rd down, but he wasn't ready for it.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:23:59

Spiers punts 38 yards to the OSU 25.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:25:22

Good grief another big 30-yard run by Sermon to the Tigers' 27. Chunk plays left and right for the Buckeyes so far! They are running up and down the field on the Tigers. I've never seen this happen to a Venables defense--not even Alabama.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:25:53

Great now Tyler Davis is shook up and limping off the field. 2nd and 9 from the Tigers' 26.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:34:59

Skalski puts his helmet right into the ribs of Fields on a 3rd down run. Fields is down on the field. They are reviewing for targeting, but I don't think you can get ejected for hitting a player in the ribs. Fields was not defenseless, and it wasn't a hit to the head or neck area.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:36:31

GOOD GRIEF!!! Skalski is ejected for targeting! Seems like a makeup call for last year if you ask me. HUGE loss for the Tigers, especially the way Ohio State is moving the ball at will. Could not have picked a worse player for the Tigers to lose on defense. Skalski was ejected against LSU last year, and we all remember what happened. His backup, Jake Venables, is also out for the season.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:37:57

Of course, 2 plays later it's a 9-yard TD pass to Olave. Instead of a field goal attempt on 4th and 2, Skalski is gone, and Ohio State scores a TD. Tigers are in major trouble.

TIGERS TRAIL 28-14 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:42:11

Trev runs for 11 yards and a first down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:42:50

Ugh 3rd and 18 after a false start.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:43:53

Complete to Powell for 15 yards, but the Tigers will have to punt again. Their 3rd straight punt!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:44:22

Spiers punts into the end zone for a touch back.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:47:17

Sermon runs for 8 yards, 10 yards and then 4 yards. Amazing, he did hardly anything in their first 5 games this season and then exploded in the Big Ten Championship. He's like a different player all the sudden.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:47:58

Sermon runs for 10 more and another 1st down at midfield.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:49:03

Good grief, now Henry is down on the field hurt!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:50:00

Looks like Henry hyperextended and landed on his left arm.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:52:06

Big 3rd and 10 from the Tigers' 38. Must get a stop if the Tigers are gonna stay in it! Watch Sermon!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:53:47

Good grief, wide open TE Ruckert again for 26 yards and a first down. He had a total of 9 catches for 60 yards coming into the game!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:56:57

Of course, touchdown Ruckert. Lol it's like they've been hiding him and Sermon all season.

TIGERS TRAIL 35-14 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 20:58:10

That's the end of the half. Buckeyes score with 11 seconds left on the clock, and they will get the ball first to start the 2nd.

TIGERS TRAIL 35-14 AT THE HALF.

Largest deficit for the Tigers since FSU 2013 and largest halftime deficit since the 2011 Orange Bowl against West Virginia!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:25:20

Lol Sermon picks up right where he left off. Incredible.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:25:58

Chris Olave WIDE OPEN in the middle of the field again for 36 yards! First down at the Tigers' 14.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:26:53

INT MIKE JONES IN END ZONE!!! Did the Tigers ever need that! Myles Murphy deflected the pass. Tigers have new life and will take over at their 20.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:29:04

Complete to EJ for 13 and Amari for 9! It's 2nd and one at the 42.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:29:32

Complete to Spector for another first down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:29:53

Trav runs for 8 to make it 2nd and 2 at the OSU 42.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:30:37

Trav runs for the first down on 3rd and one.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:33:42

Complete to Powell for 29 yards! First and goal from the 10!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:34:38

TD CORNELL!!! What a job to stretch for the pylon! Tigers aren't giving up! They turn the Mike Jones INT into a TD.

TIGERS TRAIL 35-21 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:38:33

Potter doesn't get a touch back for once, and it's downed at the 10! Tigers need a 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:39:00

Murphy is cramping.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:39:49

Huge 3rd and 10 coming!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:41:20

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Screen pass to Sermon goes 90 yards for a TD! Looks like he was never down. What a swing.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:41:45

Looks like his knee was down on replay.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:42:16

Yep down at the 23. Still a huge first down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:48:38

Ugh Olave strikes again. Perfect pass from Fields for a 56-yard TD.

TIGERS TRAIL 42-21 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:56:52

Trevor with back to back completions to Allen for 11 yards and 24 yards to the OSU 40.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:57:12

Good grief, Trevor fumbles on 1st down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 21:57:34

Looks to me like he had his hand on the ball while down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:02:43

Fumble stands, but the D forces a punt.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:10:07

Tigers will have 4th and one to start the 4th quarter.

TIGERS TRAIL 42-21 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:10:57

Good grief Bockhorst called for false start, so the Tigers will have to punt from their goal line. One of those nights!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:13:24

Sermon runs for 14 yards, and Fields hits another bomb for 45 yards to Williams. Lol this is nuts. 2 plays, another TD. Tigers' secondary is getting used worse than they did by Burrow, Chase and LSU.

TIGERS TRAIL 49-21 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:17:55

Tigers get a first down on a face mask penalty and a 9-yard completion to EJ.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:19:08

Trevor runs for the first down on 3rd and one. No quit in that guy!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:21:28

Tigers have just 69 rush yards in the 4th quarter. Trevor just got away with what should have been an INT.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:21:47

Cornell gets a PI call for a first down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:24:39

TD CORNELL!!! 26 yards! Tigers are still fighting.

TIGERS TRAIL 49-28 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:33:53

Tigers force a 3 and out with less than 10 mins left.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:46:06

Trevor incomplete on 4th and 8. Tigers turn it over on downs at the OSU 33.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:50:27

D forces a punt. I think both teams are ready for this game to end.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:51:22

Complete to EJ for a first down.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:52:35

Complete to Amari for 13 and a first down at the OSU 40. Tigers trying to make it a 14-point game in the last few minutes.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:53:31

First down pass to Galloway for 23 yards. Trev is gonna finish with 400 yards passing. First down at the 12.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:54:22

Completion to Spector makes it 3rd and 2 from the 4.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:56:53

Trevor runs out of bounds, bringing up 4th and 6. Probably Trevor's last play in a Clemson uniform.

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 22:57:42

Good grief looked like Trev had a TD pass to Amari, but it was knocked out of his hands for an interception. That's gonna be Trevor's last play in a Clemson uniform!

CUTrevor 2021-01-01 23:02:05

Trevor finished with exactly 400 yards. Lol and should have had a 4th TD with no interceptions, but Amari let them knock the ball out of his hands. Not the way Trevor wanted to go out, and not the way any of us wanted to see him go out, but it's amazing that he could put up such great numbers and it not be good enough.

TIGERS LOSE 49-28, FINISH SEASON 10-2.

I'll have post-game interviews posted in a bit.
