The Fiesta Bowl has maybe the best matchup that college football fans could have hoped for.
Clemson’s strengths — Deshaun Watson, an incredible collection of wide receiver talent, and a fierce pass rush on defense — go up against Ohio State’s, including their absurd rushing efficiency, Curtis Samuel’s explosiveness, and a defense that stuffs the run and forces turnovers better than anyone in the country.
But these two consistently elite teams also have their weaknesses. For Ohio State, those are widely known. The passing game has struggled, or at least been hot-and-cold, for two years now.
