MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE PAWCAST!!!

The #3 Clemson Tigers make their 5th straight College Football Playoff appearance this weekend in the Fiesta Bowl as the #2 Ohio State Buckeyes look to unseat the defending national champion. Each team will face their toughest test of the season as two statistically elite offenses and defenses will be on display in what stands to be one of the best semifinal match-ups of the CFP era.

In this ep we preview a game (4:31) that will showcase two elite QBs whose battle in the recruiting rankings two years ago finally finds its way to the field in Glendale. Justin Fields and the OSU offense will challenge a reloaded Clemson defense that has exceeded all expectations, albeit against vastly inferior competition (16:42). On the flip side Trevor Lawrence aims to continue his playoff dominance as a potent Clemson offense looks to overpower an OSU defense that, though greatly improved, has not faced a dynamic offense all year (30:46). And in a game between such evenly matched opponents special teams could be a major factor, an area in which OSU has a decided advantage (43:09). We wrap with our keys to the game and predictions for how we see it playing out (49:38).

Spot. The. Damn. Ball.

Go Tigers!!!
