Does Clemson’s Russell Athletic Bowl win have anything to do with this Orange Bowl game?

We have all heard the coach speak by now, “This is a different year and last year’s game has nothing to do with this game.”

Raise your hand if you believe it.

If we were in a room with Oklahoma football fans, Clemson football fans, players, and coaches, then there probably wouldn’t be an arm raised.

Oklahoma senior center Ty Darlington played in the 40-6 rout and made sure he wouldn’t forget it. The day after the Russell Athletic Bowl loss to Clemson, Darlington made his phone home screen a picture of the game score, and he made his passcode 4006.
