Clemson has arrived in the desert.
No. 3 Clemson flew into the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport late Sunday afternoon as the Tigers prepare to play Ohio State in next Saturday’s Fiesta Bowl.
Saturday's matchup with second-ranked Ohio State will be the fourth meeting between the two teams, all in bowl contests, with Clemson winning all three games. In their last meeting, the Tigers posted a 31-0 victory over the Buckeyes in the 2016 CFP Playoff Semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl en route to taking the national title.
“We're just happy to be here, just blessed to have the type of season that we had,” head coach Dabo Swinney said as his team exited the tarmac.
