Ohio State throttles Clemson in Sugar Bowl. Five things we learned.

Ohio State got its sweet redemption by running Clemson out of the Sugar Bowl. Here are five things we learned in victory.

The offense is its best self with Chris Olave available

I’m not sure we’ll ever appreciate Chris Olave as much as we should. He’s so smooth, runs great routes, and has underappreciated top-end speed to stretch defenses beyond their capacity. He was sorely missed against Northwestern and it through everything out of rhythm.

It was clear against Clemson that he makes everyone around him better. From the big-play, to the timing, to more balance, everything just works better with him as the No. 1 guy and everyone else playing their dangerous selves in concert.

NEXT … Time to give Ryan Day the credit he deserves
