Apologies to those who read this before it went to Blog Heaven.

Sophomore Vonn Bell was one interception away from cracking the top 10. Bell finished the 2014 season with six interceptions.

INTERCEPTIONS ON THE DECLINE?
8 of the 10 players in the Top 10 played before 1990.

Vinnie Clark and Derek Ross are the only players in the Top 10 that played between 1990 and 2014. This surprised me considering the great cornerbacks that played at Ohio State between 1990 and 2014.
