The 2013 Orange Bowl against Clemson ended in a 40-35 defeat for Ohio State, but two young players emerged from that game as stars ready to explode in 2014.
Vonn Bell got the first start of his career against the Tigers. Despite getting burned a few times, his athleticism was on full display.
He made a leaping, one-handed interception on the two-yard line early in the second quarter showing that he was destined to be the next great safety for the Buckeyes.
Joey Bosa was already headed for greatness prior to the Orange Bowl, but Noah Spence’s suspension shifted the spotlight solely on him.
