How It Works
Ohio State Buckeyes vs Clemson Tigers — Fiesta Bowl, December 31, 2016
0–31BOWL-NY6
About This Game
Clemson arrived in Arizona with unfinished business. Last season's national championship loss at this same stadium fueled the Tigers' hunger, and they answered emphatically with a complete shutout of No. 2 Ohio State. From the opening kickoff, Clemson's defense suffocated the Buckeyes, allowing just 215 yards and nine first downs while forcing five turnovers. Deshaun Watson orchestrated the offensive assault with surgical precision—running for two touchdowns and throwing another—while complementary scoring from C.J. Fuller's receiving touchdown and Wayne Gallman's ground attack built an insurmountable lead. Ohio State never found rhythm, managing 29 drives across 180 plays but unable to reach the end zone even once. The Tigers' relentless pass rush dismantled Ohio State's game plan, and by the fourth quarter, the outcome was never in doubt. Clemson's path to redemption was paved with dominance, setting up an even bigger test ahead. Now you can visualize every drive of this one-sided Fiesta Bowl triumph with a custom Gameprint—track Clemson's unstoppable march and Ohio State's futile struggle on your wall.
Game highlights: Deshaun Watson's two rushing TDs, C.J. Fuller's 30-yard receiving touchdown, Clemson's shutout defense holding Ohio State scoreless, Greg Huegel's opening field goal setting the tone, Clemson's total control with only 9 first downs allowed
