QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, Pittsburgh Steelers)

Wouldn't it be cool if our best player didn't have to wear a brace or a flak jacket in the playoffs because of an illegal tackle? Maybe next year.

My Dr. Google two cents is also that he is playing the title game. There is no way that he was put back on the field and x-rays determined not needed at half if the medical team thought there was any chance of further damage.

I say he'll be out there and be able to make any throw/run he normally could on any given play. There may be a "pitch count" for deep balls and QB runs for pain management purposes early on in the game.

Sincerely,

Guy who stayed in Holiday Inn at some point

I’m not listening to you. You weren’t sharp enough to stay instead at a cheaper Holiday Inn Express.

Let me gets this straight - he twice describes the defender dropping his head and leading with the crown of his helmet, and both times concludes it shouldn't be an ejection? While I found the video interesting, not sure I really trust his judgement.

Well, you know, only a very few of us know about what happened to Ryan Shazier. As I recall, he was with that little football team over in Pittsburgh.

I was leaning on his medical insight rather than his interpretation of the NCAA rule book. It might be legal in the pros but I stopped watching pro football years ago so I wouldn't know.

I've played amateur (very amateur, that year) rugby two weeks after cracking three ribs. It's not all that big a deal Others might puss out, but no way THIS kid doesn't play.

From the Medical Field: Sports Medicine Doctor Weighs in on Justin Fields' Sugar Bowl Injury and Implications for the College Football Playoff National Championship

Fields is fortunate to have access to some of the top medical care in the country to help mitigate the sequelae of his injury and keep him in the best possible shape to compete for the National Championship. Based on the available information, I do not anticipate his on-field performance will be affected in any way next Monday.

“The conversation we had was: ‘You go out and play good in this game and you win this game, nobody is going to remember the Big Ten championship game,'” Buckeyes coach Ryan Day said. “They’ll remember this one. And they’ll remember it for a long time in the history of Ohio State football. And what does he do? He goes out and he throws six touchdown passes. He takes a really tough hit. He just looked at me, and I said, ‘How are you doing? Are you going to be able to make it?’ He said: ‘I don’t have a choice; I have to.’
