The Maryland football team's trip to Ohio State in October 2015 was largely forgettable, as the Terps lost by 21 points to the then-No. 1-ranked Buckeyes in Randy Edsall's final game as head coach. However, a battle in the trenches that day represented a key point in the development of Maryland's young right tackle.
For most of the day, Damian Prince was matched up against Ohio State's Joey Bosa, who at the time was one of the best edge rushers in the nation and would soon become the third overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. Though Bosa created his fair share of havoc in the Terps' backfield, including a sack late in the contest, Prince held his own as a redshirt freshman.
"[Bosa] had played about 30 games by that time, and I felt like I competed well," Prince said. "So I feel like that was kind of the game in my career that kind of stood out to me at that point in time and let me know if I continue to work, that I can be really, really good at this level."
