Tigers plan to stick with what’s worked in its CFP history, not experience

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Of the four teams in the College Football Playoff this year, no team is as experienced as No. 3 Clemson. The Tigers, who will play No. 2 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday, are making their fifth straight CFP appearance.

To put that into perspective. All-American safety Tanner Muse and All-ACC right guard Gage Cervenka, who both redshirted in 2015, are a part of all five playoff teams. Saturday’s 8 p.m. ET., kick will be Clemson’s third time playing at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. They played in the 2016 CFP National Championship Game and in the 2017 Fiesta Bowl.
