Show Notes
Ohio State and Clemson have faced off three times in the history of the programs, and all three contests ended in disaster for the Buckeyes.
In the 1978 Gator Bowl, the Tigers defeated OSU 17-15, a game that will always be remembered for Woody Hayes striking a Clemson player. Hayes was fired and never coached again.
In the 2014 Orange Bowl (2013 season), Ohio State lost 40-35 to the Tigers. That game will be best remembered as when OSU quarterback Braxton Miller fractured his labrum (right shoulder). Miller never played quarterback in a game again.
In the 2017 Fiesta Bowl/College Football Playoff semifinal (2016 season), Urban Meyer suffered the most embarrassing loss of his career considering the stage it was on. Clemson pounded the Buckeyes 31-0, forcing Meyer to revamp his offensive coaching staff in the following weeks (bringing in Ryan Day and Kevin Wilson).
On Saturday, Ohio State has a chance to exercise those demons when they play Clemson in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl/CFP semifinal.
What are thoughts on this matchup? Who will win this game and why?
Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle for a special edition of the 5ish "live" from Arizona to discuss all of that and more.
