GLENDALE, Arizona. -- Oh Region's greatest weak point was both a advantage and a problem on a drive against Clemson that completely exemplified the Buckeyes' season.
A set of under-thrown powerful paintballs from J.T. Barrett to Binjimen Winner and Terry McLaurin delayed in the third 1 / 4 of Saturday's College Soccer Playoff semifinal at the Bamboula Dish could've been touchdowns, but instead led to successfully pass disturbance charges that permitted Oh Condition to move the football 30 metres without making a play.
With a unusual second-half reviewing chance, Barrett then over-threw Curtis Samuel on a football that was expected and intercepted.
Throwing variance affected Oh Condition throughout the season. They were along with a Buckeyes' hurrying strike that was absolutely canned up to the factor that it was unrecognizable.
With that, Clemson is returning to the Nationwide Tournament for a rematch with The state of alabama.
The Lions passed the Buckeyes' their first shutout since 1993, 31-0, in the wasteland Weekend evening, finishing annually that somewhat incredibly got to this factor in the first place when you think about how difficult shifting the football was at periods for this group.
It all came to a head on Weekend, with Oh Region's most severe unpleasant efficiency of the season. The Buckeyes were organised to a season-low 215 metres. Barrett completed 19-of-33 for 127 metres and two interceptions.
It was initially in City Meyer's profession that his group has been ignore.
That all put Oh Region's protection in the unenviable place of having to fully closed down Clemson and its celebrity qb Deshaun Watson. The attempt was valiant, but not nearly enough.
Watson completed 23-of-36 for 259 metres, one landing and two interceptions. He ran 15 periods for 57 metres and two other touchdowns. Recipient Scott Williams had 96 getting metres and operating back again John Gallman hurried for 85 metres and a landing.
Clemson managed the experience, shifting the football well against an Oh Condition protection that was regularly put in challenging roles, and absolutely closing the Buckeyes' violation.
Curtis Samuel, who many thought would've been positioned for a big activity after probably being under-utilized throughout the season, split through for a 64-yard run when the experience was already in hand. All that was left for the Buckeyes was to prevent the shutout. Instead, they got known as for an offsides charge and then Barrett got sacked. On fourth-and-27, Barrett got selected off on a heave to the end area that was came back powerful into Oh Condition area and set up a Clemson landing.
Samuel had 110 metres on 15 hits.
What it means
Meyer said coming into the playoff that Oh Condition was probably annually beginning. The Buckeyes were annually beginning in 2014, too, and we know how that finished. It's an easy thing to say when your group is young, but it's clear after this that Oh Condition was not quite ready for a group of Clemson's skills and experience.
Ohio Condition got by in a lot of activities this season by being really excellent defensively, excellent operating the football and it did not matter that it was a find it difficult to toss because skills usually beats everything. Clemson has skills, clearly. Right now, maybe a little more than Oh Condition.
The Buckeyes' formula for success this season have not against the Lions, who are in the playoff at the perfect time.
Buckeyes did not take advantage in the first half
Ohio Condition began the experience powerful, with a 32-yard punch come back from Parris Campbell that provided the Buckeyes excellent area place, letting them get into the scripted performs they like beginning in activities.
Part of Oh Region's slowly begins offensively had to do with bad starting area place that led to traditional phone calls to prevent a possible beginning strength move.
At the beginning of Weekend evening of activity, Oh Condition began its first three belongings at its own 35, then back-to-back pushes at the Clemson 30, and did not get anything out of it.
Campbell's 54-yard punch come back in the first 50 percent led to a skipped area objective. When Oh Region's protection tried to move strength with a set of first-half interceptions by Gareon Conley and Malik Prostitute, the violation could not make Clemson pay for the miscues.
Instead, the Lions lead 17-0.
More skipped area goals
Ohio Condition kicker Tyler Durbin said he was feeling assured after losing a set of area objectives against The state of michigan. Maybe he was, but he skipped a set of 47-yard area objectives in the first 1 / 4 that kept Oh Condition from getting points even when it had great area place.
