Clemson takes center stage at Orange Bowl

It’s no secret that Clemson is still flying high after its exciting win over Ohio State in the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl. With the highest Orange Bowl ratings since 2008, the game commanded attention from both traditional and social media outlets and allowed the university to shine in the national spotlight in athletics, academics and research.

The Tigers ended the season with a 11-2 record and were ranked No. 7 by USA Today and No. 8 by the Associated Press in the final college football polls released yesterday.
