College Football News: Arizona 81, Clemson 74
Pete Fiutak writes: "Really? We’re going to underestimate Clemson yet again in this tournament? Really? We don’t know the Arizona meltdown-and-out is coming? Arizona will put up 80 on the board, because that’s what it does. Clemson has to crank up the scoring. It’s not great when it can’t. It hasn’t hit the mark nine times this season, but it has to be held to 74 or fewer - 2-4 when it doesn’t get more than that - for the Tigers to pull this off. They’re 8-8 when allowing 69 or more. Arizona only failed to get there twice, and it’ll drag this into just enough of an offensive fight to get through."
