MIAMI GARDENS, FL – This one wasn’t as much about the smack talk as it was the smack down.
Number one Clemson overcame an early injury to defensive end Shaq Lawson and a 7-0 deficit in rolling number four Oklahoma 37-17 in the Capital One Orange Bowl Thursday night, and the Tigers will meet the winner of Alabama and Michigan St. on January 11th in Arizona for the National Championship.
Both teams did a lot of talking throughout the week, but Clemson dominated both lines of scrimmage after a disoriented first quarter in dominating the Sooners, considered the nation’s hottest team.
