GLENDALE, Ariz. — Curtis Samuel sat in the chair directly in front of his locker and got straight to the point.
What just happened in the hours prior — Clemson’s 31-0 rout of Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl — the Buckeyes’ talented offensive weapon never saw coming.
“There was no thought in my mind that we could ever lose by that much. Ever. No matter who we’re going against,” Samuel said. “I just didn’t ever expect us to lose like that and I’m upset I didn’t do more.”
And so, Ohio State was served a big slice of humble pie Saturday night.
