Simpson: Clemson not going to Arizona to 'have fun'

Saturday’s College Football Playoff semifinal against the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will be arguably one of Clemson’s toughest opponents they’ve faced so far this season, but veteran offensive lineman John Simpson says the Tigers are more than ready for the challenge.

With players like Heisman Trophy finalist Justin Fields and talented running back J.K. Dobbins on offense and with All-American Chase Young on the other side of the ball, the Tigers have quite the test ahead, but also the opportunity to prove critics like ESPN’s David Pollack wrong.

“He’s a dog man,” Simpson said when talking about Ohio State’s Chase Young.
