Superdome Deja Vu: Tigers humbled by Buckeyes in Sugar Bowl loss

Ohio State got the revenge it wanted and got it in a big way.

The No. 3 Buckeyes overcame an early 14-7 deficit and went on a 28-0 first-half run that stunned No. 2 Clemson en route to a 49-28 dominating victory in the Sugar Bowl Friday night. Ohio State advances to play No. 1 Alabama in the National Championship in Miami on Jan. 11th.

Clemson finishes the season 10-2, while Ohio State is now 7-0 heading into the game against the Crimson Tide.

Clemson looked dominant early offensively but failed to pick up a first down the rest of the first half after the 5:01 mark of the first quarter as the Buckeyes went on an offensive rampage.
