A steamy Orange Bowl awaits Clemson and Oklahoma
It’s time to put that term to rest.

This year the Tigers enter the game 13-0 while the Sooners are 11-1.
This will be the Crimson Tide’s second go around in the championship, they suffered a tough loss in the inaugural championship game against the Ohio State Buckeye’s (42-35).
With one more win, they’ll be known as something else: national champions. “It was just a matter of when”.
Clemson outscored Oklahoma 21-0 during a 15-minute span in the second half to take control of the game.
The key for the Tiger offense will be to keep it moving against a stingy Sooner defense.
“For some reason, we were the underdog in the playoffs”, receiver Charone Peake said. I worry about who we’ve got.
Both Oklahoma scoring drives so far were assisted by 15-yard penalties against the Tigers, the first being a pass interference on the game’s opening possession.
“Deshaun Watson is the best player in the country”.
“You’re splitting hairs here”, Swinney said. “People can have their own opinions or whatever, but there ain’t a better one than No. 4”. Baker Mayfield and Samaje Perine and the OU Sooners are looking to pull the upset on this New Years Eve bowl game.
If Watson was flustered by that pick, he sure didn’t show it after the break. Perine went out for a while with a leg injury.
Coach Corso told us that Oklahoma creates turnovers.
For Clemson Tigers, a win today should secure their spot in the NCAA national championship game on January 11th.
After the Orange Bowl’s postgame festivities, Hancock said he plans on watching the Cotton Bowl with “his feet up and enjoying a hot dog”. We have already seen four Clemson players sent home for failed drug tests, one of which is one of Deshaun Watson’s most risky deep threat.
Unlike Clemson, Oklahoma has lost a game.
Now in the second year of existence, the College Football Playoff is back.
His defensive mates did just fine without him.
Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 26 of 41 passes for 311 yards and one touchdown. Wayne Gallman rushed for 1,332 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Tigers played loose throughout, even pulling off some special teams trickery to set up their first TD.
Clemson punter Andy Teasdall rolled right as if he was punting one rugby-style, then deciding to throw back across the field to defensive tackle Christian Wilkins for a 31-yard gain.
“They didn’t want to be there is what everyone says”, Clemson guard Eric Mac Lain said.
Duffy: Oklahoma has the best offense and defense Clemson has faced all season in palatable weather.
But the Tigers will have to play without Deon Cain, Ammon Lakip and Jay Jay McCollough, as the three Clemson players were suspended from the Playoff matchup for violating the team’s rules, according to Deadspin.
Clemson is on the board in the Orange Bowl. Oklahoma got a bad loss to Texas out of the way before reeling off seven wins to end the season, including beating three ranked opponents en route to a Big 12 title. “But at the end of the day, if you turn the ball over against a good team, it’s going to get away”.
