Ohio State vs. Clemson: 5 reasons the Buckeyes win the Fiesta Bowl

Ohio State is finishing up its preparations for a matchup with Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl. Here’s five reasons the Buckeyes win.

The Ohio State defensive line can get pressure on Trevor Lawrence

You know about Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, but the rest of the defensive line is another deep bunch without much drop off even when the younger guys come in. This is by far the best defensive line Clemson has faced this year and the Buckeyes should be able to get more pressure on quarterback Trevor Lawrence than any team it has had to line up against in 2019.

If it doubles and chips on Young, guys like Zach Harrison, DaVon Hamilton and Jashon Cornell should be free to make the plays that group is capable of. Don’t double him and he’s going to get around the edge enough to make life difficult with rushed throws and pressure on Lawrence.
