Ohio State started very fast against Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl, but couldn’t cash in with touchdowns in the red zone, instead settling for three field goals to lead 16-0. As you knew they would, the Tigers responded and made it a game at the half — seizing momentum that it cashed in for the first touchdown of the second half to secure its first lead of the game 21-16.
Then momentum seemed to turn. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw a quick out route to wide receiver Tee Higgins, but it looked for all the world that Higgins caught the pass, then had it knocked free by Jeff Okudah. Jordan Fuller scooped it up and then took it to the house to give Ohio State some much needed momentum, and the lead again.
But the replay official reviewed the play and overturned the fumble. Clemson then punted away and a pivotal score was taken off the board.
