GLENDALE, Ariz. -- It was a defensive performance for the ages, as dominant as Clemson has been during an era of unmitigated success, but the play that had most of Twitter abuzz during Saturday night's College Football Playoff semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl came after the whistle.
Ohio State star Curtis Samuel was tackled by a trio of Clemson defenders at the line of scrimmage, one of many run plays that went nowhere. One of those tacklers was Christian Wilkins, who appeared to use the opportunity to grope a prone Samuel.
