Five bold predictions for Orange Bowl between Clemson, Oklahoma

Clemson and Oklahoma are just hours away from kicking off in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl. Here are five bold predictions about how the game will go down:

1. Baker Mayfield will get frustrated early. Mayfield has completed 69 percent of his passes this season, but he will not have the same type of success against the Tigers. Expect that number to be somewhere near the 50 percent range. Why? Clemson has excelled at pass efficiency defense this season, allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete just 46 percent of their passes, No.
