Travis Etienne Caps Three-Touchdown Performance with Game-Winning Score

Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

Clemson running back Travis Etienne's third touchdown of the Fiesta Bowl pushed the No. 3 Tigers to a 29–23 comeback victory over No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday.

After both teams entered the game undefeated, Ohio State took a 16–0 lead midway through the second quarter. Clemson's first points on the board then came after Etienne's 8-yard run touchdown, and the running back's 53-yard run in the third quarter gave the Tigers their first lead of the game.

Etienne's third touchdown was the most monumental, after a pass from Trevor Lawrence led to a 34-yard score.
