Deshaun Watson threw for 197 yards and ran for another 42 in the first half of the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State on Saturday as Clemson took a 17-0 lead into the half against the Buckeyes. Watson was 16 of 24 through the air for the Tigers.
He was also electric with his legs (and notched a 1-yard touchdown), but this 30-yard TD pass to C.J. Fuller was the crown jewel of his first-half performance. The Fuller catch was ridiculous, but it's clear Watson is taking the game over both through the air and on the ground.
His two picks have been mitigated by a stifling Tigers defense that kept the Buckeyes to just 88 yards at the half. Watson now has 45 total touchdowns on the season and eight total College Football Playoff TDs, including the 2015 playoffs.
