You might remember the last time Ohio State played a football game. It happened 30 days ago and ended in the most thrilling fashion.
That is Curtis Samuel prancing into the end zone untouched to lead Ohio State to a 30-27 double overtime victory against Michigan. The Buckeyes didn't play in the Big Ten Championship the following Saturday but made the College Football Playoff anyway.
Their opponent is Clemson, a 12-1 outfit and champions of the ACC. Led by Heisman Trophy runner-up Deshaun Watson and a high-powered offense, the Tigers are more than formidable.
