Clemson is headed to Arizona

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Clemson is headed to the National Championship Game.

For the first time since it won all in 1981, the Tigers will play for a national championship thanks to a second-half performance against No. 4 Oklahoma that will go down as one of the best in Clemson history.

After trailing by one-point at halftime, the Tigers used a strong running game and a relentless effort from its defense for a 37-17 victory in the Capital One Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium.

Trailing 17-16 at the break, Clemson handed the football to its train and he carried them to Arizona.
