Ohio State’s Offense Failed To Go Score-for-Score With Alabama When National Championship Game Required It

MIAMI GARDENS, Florida – The Sugar Bowl, in retrospect, was offensive perfection from Ohio State.

Justin Fields threw six touchdown passes and just one interception. Trey Sermon galloped for 193 yards and a score. Chris Olave torched the Clemson secondary to the tune of 132 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The offensive line blasted holes for Sermon and largely kept Fields upright. Even the tight ends got in on the action, with Jeremy Ruckert and Luke Farrell scoring a combined 21 points.

The problem with trying to replicate perfection is, well, trying to replicate perfection.
