For most of the game the Ohio State football team had the upper hand over Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl. Three mistakes by Buckeyes and a bad decision on a replay allowed the Tigers to pull off a 29-23 victory.
I’ll get to the bad call later but first look at the mistakes by players that changed the game. Those mistakes were a result of poor fundamentals which should have been straightened up before the players ever donned the Scarlet and Gray.
First, let’s look at the dropped pass by J.K. Dobbins in the redzone. The RB was wide open and possibly could have scored if he had simply concentrated on catching the ball instead of what he was going to do afterward.
