3-0 VS. THE BUCKEYES
You probably already know this one if you’re a Buckeye fan (or a Tiger fan), but it’s the elephant in the room that can’t be ignored: Ohio State has never won in any of its three games against Clemson.

Those three losses including two of the most infamous losses in school history.

In the Fiesta Bowl for the 2016 season, the last time Ohio State made the College Football Playoff, Clemson shut out the Buckeyes, 31-0. Ohio State fans can thank that game, though, with forcing Meyer’s hand to replace former offensive coordinators Tim Beck and Ed Warinner with current head coach Ryan Day as well as Kevin Wilson.

The 1978 Gator Bowl is infamous for being the final game of Woody Hayes’ head coaching career, as he was fired by Ohio State for punching Clemson defensive tackle Charlie Bauman after he made a fourth-quarter interception that helped seal a 17-15 win for the Tigers, bringing Hayes’ 28-year tenure with the Buckeyes to an end.

Ohio State also suffered a 40-35 loss to Clemson in the Orange Bowl at the end of the 2013 season, marking the only time in Urban Meyer’s seven-year tenure that Ohio State lost back-to-back games.

The Buckeyes will have a chance to exorcise those demons, while Clemson will look to build upon its history of success against Ohio State, when the two teams meet three Saturdays from now.

REVENGE!!!
