So, Ohio State…what was this talk about you being a title contender?
The Clemson Tigers rode the arm…and legs of quarterback Tajh Boyd and the fast feet and good hands of receiver Sammy Watkins to a 40-35 win over Ohio State in Friday night's Orange Bowl.
For the first time in a long, long time, the Orange Bowl game was actually pretty exciting.
Boyd threw for 378 yards and 5 TD's and ran for 128 yards along with another score. Watkins caught 16 of those passes for 218 yards and 2 scores.
And it almost wasn't enough.
After getting out to a 20-9 lead, the Tigers gave it back. tOSU quarterback Braxton Miller's 2-yard TD run with 12 seconds left in the first half, gave the Buckeye's a 22-20 lead.
The game went back and forth before Boyd sealed it with a 5 yard TD pass to Stanton Seckinger with 6 minutes left. That's when the leaky Tiger defense stepped up and kept Ohio State out of the end zone and sealing the win.

ICYMI: Ohio St. Takes Care of Business at Northwestern
It was a rainy night in Evanston, but it wasn't enough to stop Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde.
Hyde ran for 168 yards and 3 TD's, leading the Buckeye's to a 40-30 comeback win against Northwestern.
It wasn't always pretty, but the win moved tOSU to 6-0 on the season and cemented them as a BCS contender despite the overall lackluster state of Big 10 football.
Northwestern came out inspired and jumped out to 20-13 halftime lead and was looking for a statement victory.
They almost got it.
Wildcat QB Trevor Siemian threw for 245 yards and 2 TD's, but the defense, despite 2 fumbles and an interception by Ohio State QB Braxton Miller, couldn't slow down Hyde.
Ohio State gets next week off, Northwestern, now 4-1 has a trip to Wisconsin next week.

With A Back-up Quarterback Ohio State Rattles Florida A&M
Ohio State calls Kenny Guiton the most famous back-up quarterback in college football.
Saturday against an over-marched Florida A&M team Guiton's fame reached a new zenith.
Guiton threw for an Ohio State record six touchdowns, all in the first half, in the Buckeyes 76-0 rout of the Rattlers.
"I had all day," Guiton said. "The coaches wanted to come out throwing the ball around and I thank them for the trust they had in me to be able to do that."
"He's an efficient player right now, he's an incredible manager, coach on the field so, you know, his time came." Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said. "He was prepared, and his coach and him did a very good job. I think Tom Herman it's not by accident that this thing happened, now. It's not because he had the buckeye in his pocket or his lucky tee shirt; it's because he worked hard with the position coach to get ready for his opportunity and boy did he."
Yes he did coach Meyer.
When asked if Braxton Miller was still the Buckeyes number one quarterback Meyer had a one word answer.
"Yes."
Quarterback controversy in Columbus, I think not.
