The #3 Clemson Tigers rallied from 16-0 down against #2 Ohio State Buckeyes to win 29-23 in the Fiesta Bowl in the 2nd game of the College Football Playoff Semifinals.
The Buckeyes had early chances to put the Tigers away but the Clemson red zone defense held Ohio State for field goals & not touchdowns. Trevor Lawrence was excellent in the passing & running game & Travis Etienne showed off why he is a do it all running back with powerful rushes & dynamic receptions out of the backfield. Justin Fields was intercepted to end the Buckeyes chance at a comeback late in the 4th quarter.
