The top-heavy nature of college football should not make it as much of a surprise, so instead we should the modern rivalry that's unfolding when No. 2 Clemson takes on No. 3 Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl semifinal of the College Football Playoff. The series between the programs started with a bang, or rather a punch, when Ohio State coach Woody Hayes socked a Clemson player at the end of the 1978 Gator Bowl.
The teams did not meet again until the 2014 Orange Bowl when Dabo Swinney announced the Tigers' arrival as a college football power following a 40-35 win against Urban Meyer's Buckeyes. Clemson went on to become one of the two most successful programs of the College Football Playoff era, including two wins against Ohio State in CFP semifinals.
Now set for a rematch of last year's Fiesta Bowl, Clemson looks to return to the CFP National Championship for the third year in a row while Ohio State hopes to notch its first-ever win against the Tigers. With so much on the line for both teams and both programs, here are five keys to the Sugar Bowl.
1. Justin Fields has to play well
The battle of quarterbacks, featuring two players who ranked as the top prospects in the country and will be compared to each other as NFL Draft debates heat up, is an easy place to start. This game and this matchup against Clemson's defense is a chance for Fields to show the gap between him and Clemson's Trevor Lawrence is as close now as it was when they were those highly-touted high school prospects. Fields had his worst passer rating of the year in last season's Fiesta Bowl semifinal, and after throwing just one interception all season, he gave away two in the loss, including the game-clincher for Clemson in the end zone during Ohio State's final drive.
Now, Fields shows up in New Orleans coming off one of the worst performances of his career, completing just 12-of-27 passes for 114 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in the Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern. Some of those struggles can be attributed to a thumb injury and the Wildcats' stellar pass defense, as well as the absence of wide receiver Chris Olave, who missed the game because of COVID-19 protocols. But while Ohio State's defense and a record day for running back Trey Sermon were able to guide the Buckeyes to victory through Fields' struggles, that will likely not be the case against Clemson.
A big reason for that will be Lawrence. The Tigers quarterback has thrown eight touchdowns and zero interceptions in four College Football Playoff starts, and Clemson has fully unleashed his talents here at the end of the 2020 season. Lawrence threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns with 90 rushing yards and a score on the ground against Notre Dame in the ACC Championship Game.
