Fiesta Bowl- Clemson versus Ohio State

[fishinabarrel]

Fiesta bowl is like Ohio State's second home from back in the BCS era. A lot of Ohio State fans in that area. How do Clemson fans travel? I've seen it pretty lopsided in Glendale in favor of the Buckeyes a few times.

I expect this to be a great game with two very talented teams. Big name QBs in Watson and Barrett but teams that have struggled with consistency throughout the season.

I'm gonna say the Silver Bullets get a score and Ohio State takes it 31-27.

My crazy bold prediction is whoever wins this game is going to win versus Bama. Bama has not fared well recently in the Sugar Bowl. I would take both JT Barret or Deshaun Watson over a true freshman Hurts. The Buckeyes defense can keep them in the game versus Bama. Anyway it's a moot point if we don't win versus Clemson. It's time to get redemption on these guys.

Edit: I thought the title game was in New orleans, but it's in Tampa

You made me go double check

Tampa is a great bowl destination. It's convenient, laid back and dem tittay bars are right down the street.

We better beat Washington. I'm 20 mins from Raymond James, can go to the game and sleep in my own bed...or go to the peeler bars...but I can also do that any old Tuesday.

I think it's going to be a higher score. Both of these teams can put up points. The Buckeyes defense should be able to contain Watson's passing game, it's his running ability that is a concern. They are going to be a tough matchup for sure. We got to keep in the pocket and not outside. Also, JT hopefully will find his passing game again. In a warmer climate, indoors, and this is usually his time to shine.

The Huskies don't have the depth like Bama does. I bet they make it a game for awhile, but with your monster RBs crushing the OL of UW, you should win comfortably. They should really review the UF and LSU games. Both teams have solid defenses, just nothing on offense. That being said, the Bama defense is nasty. I think if anyone can bump Bama off, it will be to frustrate the true freshman QB Hurts in committing turnovers, and running the clock (time management) aspect of the game to wear the Bama defense out, if that is even possible?

You suck at watching. Suck.

Hurts doesn't have enough freedom to get in that much trouble. Saban will dial him back and count on the D to bail us out a la LSU. Now if we don't get healthy in the Secondary between now and then, all bets are off.

Come on, Juice. You can do better than this.

This is the year Ohio State finally wins one against a team from the state of South Carolina!

Can't wait to watch all the videos of Woody punching that kid leading up to this game

Hoping Clemson wins so I don't have to anxiously sit through a national title game

If turnover CLemson shows up, Ohio State wins.

If non turnover Clemson shos up, Clem wins.

Ohio State's secondary loves them some pick sixes
