Ohio State dominated Clemson on its way to a 49-28 Sugar Bowl win and clinched a berth in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game to face No. 1 Alabama.
The Tigers allowed 639 yards of total offense and Buckeye quarterback Justin Fields looked outstanding as he completed 22-of-28 passes for 385 yards with six touchdowns and one interception.
In the second quarter, a pivotal call swung all of the momentum to Ohio State and the game pulled out of the Tigers’ grasp when Clemson linebacker James Skalski was called for targeting Fields and was ejected from the game with 6:04 to play in the first half.
