Clemson will get a shot at revenge against Alabama in the national championship game after thrashing Ohio State 31-0 in the Fiesta Bowl.

Here are some of the best photos from the second College Football Playoff semifinal:

2. Making his playoff debut after sitting out practically all of last season, Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams made a spectacular 37-yard catch in the first half.

3. The Tigers' swarming defense held Ohio State to 3-of-14 on third down and 215 yards of offense.

4. Deshaun Watson may have finished second in Heisman voting this season, but he accounted for 316 total yards of offense and three touchdowns to lead the Tigers back to the national championship game and earn offensive MVP honors.

5. An Ohio State fan summed up the Buckeyes' night with the surrender cobra.
