While the “super sophs” were very important to the success Ohio State enjoyed in the 2014 season, you can make a case that players who were under the radar their first two years in Columbus were Urban Meyer’s impact players down the stretch.
In the Sugar Bowl against Alabama Curtis Grant was instrumental in limiting Alabama’s strong running game. Evan Spencer’s pass to Michael Thomas for a touchdown at the end of the first half gave the momentum the Buckeyes needed to start the second half. And Steve Miller’s interception and a 41 yard return for a touchdown was one of the biggest plays of the entire season.
