GLENDALE, AZ – The Tigers were left for dead more than once Saturday. After a demoralizing first quarter and after Ohio St. looked to be putting the game away in the fourth quarter. Champions respond, however, and the Tigers acted like champions.
Trevor Lawrence threw a 34-yard scoring toss to Travis Etienne with 1:49 to play and Nolan Turner intercepted a pass in the endzone with 37 seconds remaining as the No. 3 Tigers overcame a 16-0 deficit and defeated No. 2 Ohio St. 29-23 in the College Football Playoff Semifinal’s Fiesta Bowl.
