VIDEO All-22 Replay Shows How Close Ohio State's Game-Ending INT vs Clemson Was to Being a TD
By Scott Rogust
If you watched the Fiesta Bowl between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Clemson Tigers, you know that the drama ended with Buckeyes quarterback Justin Fields throwing an absolutely brutal interception that clinched Clemson's spot in the CFP National Championship Game. However, the All-22 perspective shows just how close this play' came to being something completely different.

Had a perfect 2-high beater with a hitch/post combo.

That was a close one for Ohio State. If wide receiver Chris Olave had not made the confusing decision to cut to the opposite direction, we could be talking about the Buckeyes facing the Joe Burrow-led LSU Tigers on Jan. 13.
Oh, what could've been for Ohio State. This will be maddening food for thought for fans of the Scarlet and Gray.
