Clemson and Ohio State have had to follow different protocols set forth by their respective conferences in terms of COVID-19 testing ahead of Friday’s College Football Playoff semifinal matchup at the Sugar Bowl.
While the Tigers are done testing for the coronavirus, having administered their final tests on Wednesday prior to leaving for the Sugar Bowl, the Buckeyes had to have their final round of pregame COVID-19 testing Thursday morning before flying to New Orleans in the afternoon.
“I think that’s a unique situation that we don’t have the same protocols going into the game,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said Thursday morning during the Sugar Bowl head coaches’ press conference.
