Sugar Bowl is Clemson’s House of Horrors

NEW ORLEANS — The Superdome and the Sugar Bowl has really become the House of Horrors for Clemson.

The previous two times the Tigers played in the Superdome, Clemson was beat by 18 points by Alabama in the 2017 Sugar Bowl and 17 points by LSU in last year’s national championship game. However, Friday’s 49-28 Sugar Bowl loss to No. 3 Ohio State was worse than both of those games combined.

The Buckeyes took out 42 years of frustration, when Clemson beat Woody Hayes’ Buckeyes in the 1978 Gator Bowl, to get their first win in five meeting against the Tigers.
