Fiesta Bowl: #3 Clemson 29, #2 Ohio State 23 (Postgame)
« on: December 08, 2019, 02:59:20 PM »
Ohio State's history against Clemson is worse than abysmal.

Woody Hayes got fired for hitting a Clemson player in a loss and the Buckeyes remain winless against these tigers.

Will it be different this time?

For that matter, will the B1G finally score a point in a playoff game for the first time since Ohio State's last TD against Oregon in the 2014 National Championship? In the two B1G playoff appearances the Spartans and Buckeyes got shutout by Bama and Clemson.

Clemson is the early favorite.

Yeah, 0-3 all time vs Clemson.

1978 - The Woody Punch (WWH)
2014 - The Braxton Miller shoulder injury. (UFM/Dabo)
2016 - The worst Bowl performance in OSU History. (UFM/Dabo)

To make matters worse, OSU's record since the FBG was moved from Tempe to Glendale: 1-3

Yeah, I went to a Fiesta Bowl in Tempe where Ohio State won a National Championship and one in Glendale where Urban Meyer won a National Championship.

2014 - The Braxton Miller shoulder injury. (UFM/Dabo)

This game - Roby sat out,injured i believe,Noah Spence suspended lead the team with 8 sacks.Both him and Joey Bosa were true freshmen.Both Shazier and Miller played but were hurt.One of those what if games,those were all impact players.With Spence and Roby and a healthy Miller and Shazier I believe they would have covered that 5 points

They did do that in Tempe, and they did it again in Glendale; accounting for the one win in four tries.

The three Glendale losses were Florida, Texas and Clemson.

Glendale, a good spot for Cactus League baseball, not the Fiesta Bowl.

The one with Brady Quinn was in Tempe. The one with Brian Kelly was in Glendale. Both were convincing OSU wins.

Yes.  Woody Hayes will not hit a Clemson player in the Fiesta Bowl.
 
Having got that out of the way, Ohio State is the best overall team in every phase of the game, in NCAA football. They will have to play as they did in the 2nd half against Wisconsin; Ohio State gets the win.
