Boyd exits in style, and No. 12 Clemson tops No. 7 Ohio State 40-35 in Orange Bowl

• MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) -- Tajh Boyd went out in style. Sammy Watkins probably played his finale as well. And Clemson even got to take a little swipe at rival South Carolina.
• Two years ago, the Tigers limped out of the Orange Bowl.
• This time around, they were all smiles, and with good reason.
• Boyd threw for 378 yards and five touchdowns, Watkins had a record-setting night with 16 catches for 227 yards and two scores, and No. 12 Clemson rallied to beat No. 7 Ohio State 40-35 on Friday in the Orange Bowl -- a game the Tigers lost by 37 points just two years ago.
• "Two years ago we got our butts kicked on this field," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "And it has been a journey to get back. We're 22-4 since that night. And we are the first team from the state of South Carolina to ever win a BCS game."
