Ohio State ran all over Clemson last year, and at one point was up 16-0. Then the referees made terrible calls that allowed Clemson back into the game, and Dobbins injured his ankle.

- ohio state’s best defense player gets ejected for an accidental helmet hit
- dobbins gets injured
- referee take away a TD from a clear Clemson fumble off a catch.

Hands down Ohio Sate was the better team, unfortunately the score didn’t reflect that.

So I don’t get what you mean by ND and Ohio ST being sacrificial lambs
