COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Both the 2005 and 2015 Ohio State football teams were stocked with talent that was headed to the NFL, and both played Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. For the 2005 team, a win in Arizona was the first step of a 2006 season that led to the national title game, with players in changing roles leading the way.
Can the 2015 team use a win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta as a springboard for 2016. And can these current Buckeyes emerge with more important roles next year, the way their 2006 counterparts did?
