COLUMBUS – The Buckeyes are in! Ohio State was one of the four teams selected to play in the 2020 College Football Playoffs.
Alabama was selected at No. 1, Clemson was No. 2, Ohio State was selected at No. 3, and Notre Dame at No. 4.
No. 5 Texas A &M and No.6 Oklahoma were the first two teams out.
The Buckeyes will be playing the 10-1 Clemson Tigers in the semifinal in New Orleans at the Sugar Bowl. This will be the second consecutive year these two teams face each other in a semifinal game.
No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Notre Dame will face each other in Arlington, Texas at AT&T Stadium.
This game will not be that competitive. Lawrence will do whatever he wants on offense. Defensively Clemson has the best blitz packages ive seen and OSU has yet to have been coached that when a team blitzes you have to get rid of the ball. I honestly could see Clemson getting 8-10 sacks.
No doubt OSU deserved this,
1. Can OSU’s DB hold up against a the best passing O they’ve seen all year?
2. Our D seems to struggle with running Qb’s, Trevor has legs-will run!
3. Clemson’s OL is new, but talented. OSU will need to make them one dimensional, but will be hard as Clemson has a special RB.
4. Sermon is a spark, and will Clemson will have to pay attention.
5. Fields, needs to get back to being Fields. Losing Olive really hurt.
6. Day has bulletin board material, but OSU will need to have their best game if they wish to stick with them or even pull the slight upset. Go BUCKS!
Luckily Clemson doesn’t have top-flight receivers and the Buckeyes are pretty good at stopping the run. The bad news is they still have Trevor Lawrence who was the difference last year torching us with runs when Clemmy needed ’em. Gonna take a great game in all 3 phases to win this one. GO BUCKS!
Will the emergence of Sermon be the spark that takes the buckeyes to another level, as did the arrival of Jones in 2014?
glad to play clemson just hoping full force and healthy–i think alabama is overrated on defense–they struggles mightily with the 2 teams with an offensive pulse
