Wilkins, Tigers’ defensive front ready to dominate

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Clemson’s defensive line’s mindset coming into Saturday’s Fiesta Bowl against No. 3 Ohio State is to dominate.

“I mean, that’s just our mindset as a defensive line, just be as dominant, as tough and as aggressive as you possibly can be and just wreak as much havoc as you can,” defensive end Christian Wilkins said.

The Tigers defensive front has dominated just about every opponent it has played, and many expect them to do the same against the Buckeyes at the University of Phoenix Stadium. Because of their domination, Clemson has 46 sacks and 112 tackles for loss, figures that have it ranked second in the country in both respected categories.
