Ohio State head coach Ryan Day spoke with the media on Monday to share his thoughts on the upcoming College Football Playoff game against Clemson.
With Friday's Allstate Sugar Bowl inching closer and closer, it's time to check in with players and coaches from Ohio State and Clemson before the College Football Playoff semifinals.
The Buckeyes have never beaten Clemson and the anticipation around Friday's game is heightening. It's getting perhaps even more attention with more dramatic storylines surrounding the game because of the recent history between two of college football's elite programs.
