Whereas, quarterback Tajh Boyd had a recordsetting night, throwing for 378 yards and five touchdowns; and

Whereas, wide receiver Sammy Watkins also had a recordsetting game with sixteen catches for 227 yards and two touchdowns; and

Whereas, through his performance, Watkins became Clemson’s career receptions leader and set an Orange Bowl record for yardage; and

Whereas, Clemson’s victory over Ohio State was the university’s first Bowl Championship Series bowl victory; and

Whereas, the Tigers had 576 total yards, 198 of which were rushing yards, which is the most the Buckeyes’ defense has allowed this season; and
