Simpson confident Tigers can handle Ohio State's Young

Clemson offensive lineman John Simpson said Ohio State is one of the most talented teams they’ve faced this season, but he believes the third-ranked Tigers are built for next Saturday’s Fiesta Bowl.

The senior and his fellow lineman are looking forward to facing Ohio State’s All-American defensive end Chase Young.

Simpson on ESPN’s David Pollack comment about the O-line not being able to handle Chase Young

“He’s a great player first and foremost, I mean going against guys like Isaiah [Simmons] in practice, Isaiah gets us prepared, having Xavier Thomas and guys like that, and even our younger defensive ends are filled with talent.
