Redemption is sweet.
Ohio State left the field in Arizona last year believing (and rightfully so), they were the better team against Clemson. Some bad breaks, missed opportunities, and controversial calls doomed a Buckeye squad that seemed to be on the way towards a shot at a national championship.
All the offseason workouts that involved sweat and tears, not to mention fighting for a season in 2020 was all about getting a chance to right a wrong and show the world Ohio State is one of the current blue bloods in the sport despite all the national narratives.
Consider it done. Ohio State throttled the No. 2 team in the country to the tune of 49-28, and frankly, it could have been worse.
As we do with every game, we give you five takeaways from what we witnessed, this time in the glow of sweet victory after a College Football Playoff win in the Sugar Bowl.
