Add Colin Cowherd to a list of media types who believes Clemson will take down Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. Despite the Buckeyes receiving plenty of praise throughout the season, the Tigers now seem to be the favorite to advance to the national title game.

This week, Cowherd broke down why he believes Clemson will take care of Ohio State on Saturday. The FOX radio show host says that, with both teams being evenly matched on both sides of the ball, the difference could be in coaching.

Cowherd gives the edge to the experience and tested staff at Clemson.

“I like Clemson to win by a touchdown,” Cowherd said. “I think we’re undervaluing Clemson. I think you can look at their conference and say they didn’t play anybody, and that is a huge benefit. They are healthy, they have a ton of depth, and I believe when  you don’t know who’s going to win, you go with the coaching staff in college. I think Clemson has the best coaching staff by a wide margin.”

Cowherd went on to say that Clemson has played much better during the final stretch of the season than Ohio State, despite the Buckeyes beating Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin in the final three games of the season.

Below are Cowherd’s full comments on the matchup.
