Photos: Ohio State throttles Clemson behind gutsy, record-breaking Justin Fields performance
NEW ORLEANS — Ohio State fought all year for a chance to line up against Clemson, another chance to slay the dragon named the Tigers.
On Friday night in the Big Easy, the Buckeyes did just that and did so in resounding fashion, thoroughly dismantling the Clemson defense and slowing down Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne enough to win comfortably in the College Football Playoff, 49-28. The Sugar Bowl win sets up the Buckeyes for a national championship matchup with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
