Clemson bands trolls Ohio State with '31-0' formation at halftime

— -- CLEMSON, S.C. -- It's been eight months since Clemson Tigers celebrated its dominant Fiesta Bowl win over Ohio State Buckeyes, but the Tigers weren't quite done rubbing salt in the wound.

At halftime of Clemson's season opener against Kent State, the band's performance included a trip down memory lane, with songs and marches designed to recapture the excitement of last year's run to a national championship.

The highlight? A tribute to that 31-0 victory over Ohio State that has had Clemson fans crowing all offseason.
