Buckeye defense looking for "heavyweight fight" against Clemson offense

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – The Ohio State defense will have its hands full with the Clemson offense when the Tigers and Buckeyes meet Saturday in the College Football Playoff Semifinal, but their defenders have all the confidence in the world.

The battle is between the Ohio State defense (ranked number two overall) and the Clemson offense (ranked number three overall). Buckeye cornerback Jeff Okudah was reminded Tuesday that the Tigers have won 50 games in a row in which they’ve scored first, but Okudah said records are meant to be broken.

“With Clemson, if they're able to score first, it kind of destroys a team’s morale,” Okudah said.
