The Sophomore threw for 299 yards and 3 touchdowns to lead Ohio State to a come from behind victory.

Fields gushed over his teammates and coaches saying “Me personally, I didn’t think it would be like this. But just as I spent more and more time around the coaches, and the players, I got more confident in this team and what we can accomplish.”

He certainly has established a strong bond with first-year Ohio State Coach Ryan Day. Fields stated “(Day) is a great coach, great person too, we not only play for him but have great personal relationships with him.”

According to Justin Fields, the knee he injured against Michigan is good to go. “There was probably a few cuts where it hurt a bit, but after that it was all good.” Fields ailment hardly seemed to effect him against one of the nations top defenses. He did later explain he felt like some of the discomfort caused him to leave some throws on the field saying, “I feel like it did (affect some missed throws). I’m not making excuses for any of the throws, but definitely feel like it did.”

Ohio State and their star quarterback will now prepare for their Fiesta Bowl match-up with the Clemson Tigers. If Justin Fields can remain healthy, there’s no end to the Buckeyes journey in sight.
