I love, of course, the effort and speed and willingness to block. If I was ever starting a team, Fields would be my QB1 and it wouldn't even be close. All that said, the issue is that if it's anywhere close to a BitB, you don't throw it, especially if it's not necessary and it wasn't necessary in this case.

Very true.

Absolutely loved it. No need to replicate.

Justin Fields flashes blocking ability
Not many quarterbacks can hand the ball off, watch a running back burst free for a big game and chase the running back down to deliver a block that seals a touchdown. Not many quarterbacks are Justin Fields.

Fields showed off his wheels Saturday after handing the ball off to Trey Sermon for a 64-yard touchdown run. The only thing more impressive than Sermon’s breakaway speed was Fields ability to catch up to him and throw a block at the end — one that was maybe on the brink of a penalty that could have gotten the touchdown called back.

“It kind of just came naturally,” Fields said. “I usually do it in practice to get conditioning in, so it just kicked in naturally, and then I started running and I didn’t stop.

“I’m just glad they didn’t call it. If they would have called it, I would have been mad. They didn’t call it, so it wasn’t a block in the back in my eyes.”

Justin Fields solidifying high NFL Draft stock
Justin Fields was already pegged to be a high draft pick in the upcoming 2021 NFL draft. Now, he’s solidifying that draft stock with a brilliant junior season.

Fields might not be the first quarterback off the board; that will likely be Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence. But Fields could be the second signal-caller taken in the draft. ESPN’s Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. agree, slotting Fields at No. 2 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars in their latest mock draft.

A probable Heisman finalist and one of the best quarterbacks the college game has seen in some time, Fields is going to go quickly in the draft. But he might be able to capture a Big Ten and national title at Ohio State before he departs.

Can Justin Fields make Heisman push?
The realization that a lack of games and stat-stuffing opportunities has done critical damage to the Heisman Trophy campaign of Justin Fields seems to have set in for Ohio State. For some reason his virtuoso performance against Michigan State didn’t seem to move the needle much, and not having that marquee showcase in The Game last week again didn’t do him any favors — especially when top contenders at Alabama made the most of their spotlight. Fields has largely been unbothered by the conversation about individual awards, even though it’s no secret he had the Heisman on his list of goals this season. But he’s got one more shot to prove that he’s the best player in the country this weekend, and there’s no doubt he’ll be motivated to send a message while winning another championship.

Fields becomes just the fourth-ever two-time winner of the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year award, joining former Purdue quarterback Drew Brees (1998, 2000), fellow Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller (2012, 2013) and Penn State running back Saquon Barkley (2015, 2016).

Ohio State quarterbacks have now won the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year award for three straight years, as Dwayne Haskins won the award in 2018. A Buckeye has been named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year after six of the last nine seasons, as Ezekiel Elliott also won the award in 2015.

An Ohio State quarterback has now won the Big Ten Quarterback of the Year award in five straight seasons and eight of the last nine, starting with Miller in 2012 and 2013 and J.T. Barrett in 2014, 2015 and 2017 before Haskins in 2018 and now, Fields in 2019 and 2020.

Just sayin': W8DW!!!
