Buckeyes hunting for sweet revenge in Sugar Bowl
NEW ORLEANS — Ohio State has bee building toward the opportunity at revenge.
With an 0-4 all-time record against Clemson and an underdog mentality, the Buckeyes are heading to New Orleans for the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Sugar Bowl with a massive chip on their collective shoulder.
The Buckeyes have embraced the underdog role, just like they did the last time they were an underdog in the Sugar Bowl semifinal, when they came home with a surprising win and a spot in the national title game.
Add on the revenge factor from last season’s heartbreaking loss to Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal, and there’s no shortage of motivation for Ohio State as it prepares to take the field Friday night. This team knows what its up against, and it knows what is at stake.
“We’ve never beaten Clemson, so we have to be that team,†Buckeyes cornerback Shaun Wade said Tuesday when the defensive stars met with the media. “And that’s what we’re trying to do. In our past history, we’ve never beaten them. So our goal is to win this game and go from there.â€
