167 with 2 passing TDS and one running. More sacks than I anticipated. Was way under on the ground as a result.

Still, a hell of a game for the kid.

Get healthy.

12 of 22 for 167 and 2 TDs with no picks

Efficiency of 148.309 against what WAS the #1 defense in America in a freaking monsoon.

Ridiculous.

My highest praise for him is that he might be the 3rd best player on his own team.

We are now past the point where we, imo, need to consider him an inexperienced QB.

In 8 games he has seen the following defenses (number is national rank, BOLD is top 10):

Passing defense- Average team passer rating allowed
#1 Wisconsin 88.6 (Yesterday was a 148.3)
#9 UC 105.7
#49 Nebraska (what??)
#51 MSU
#62 Northwestern
#65 IU
#66 Fredo
#82 FAU

Passing Defense-Opponents yards per attempt:
#4 MSU
#16 Northwestern
#21 Wisconsin 10.8 per game, yesterday was a 13.9
#39 Nebraska (what 2.0??)
#53 IU
#54 Fredo

Passing-Opponent completion %
#1 Wisconsin 44.78 (yesterday 54.55)
#4 UC


Total Defense-Opponents yards per play:
#2 Wisconsin 3.6 per play, yesterday was a 5.6
#17 MSU
#22 UC
#40 Northwestern
#46 IU

I could keep going but you can see the point. He has been blooded. Wisconsin, UC, MSU and Northwestern all have very capable defenses. Two of those teams have very highly regarded DC's (UC and UW) who threw everything they had at the kid.

Had a really good game even if the stats were pedestrian. In those conditions he still made some great throws and created with his legs. Rain caused multiple drops and Hill turned the wrong way on a perfect throw.

Keep it up. We'll need him to air it out eventually and I'm more confident than ever in his ability to put the ball on the money when it counts.

Georgia fans, it’s OK to enjoy Fields’ success at Ohio State

1178401088.JPG


The what-if game – about as unrewarding a diversion as one-handed poker – will involve Jake Fromm and Justin Fields for as long as the two throw an NCAA regulation football, and likely beyond.

Fromm struggles against South Carolina and he and the Bulldogs treat a wet ball like it’s a live squid against Kentucky. While Fields, the high-pedigree recruit who moved on from Georgia after he did not unseat Fromm, takes wing at Ohio State. Why, he even managed to throw for a couple touchdowns in the rain on Saturday, proving it humanly possible.

Let the game begin. For Georgia fans, everything Fields accomplishes – and that may be epic – will be done with the full knowledge that he was a Bulldog first and that the kind of dynamism he has brought to the game would look awfully good dressed up in red and black.

Magnanimous ones will realize that they hardly have been left with a can of Spam in Fromm. He is steady and sturdy and true. They will understand the machinations forced on Fields to gain his right to play this year for Ohio State, for it was really nothing personal. They may even realize that this new spasm of movement in college football has led to a wealth of great quarterbacking spread over the fruited plain from Norman, Okla., to Baton Rouge, La., to Columbus, Ohio.

It would have been a crime against competition if Fields couldn’t have played every possible down this season. However Georgia might have deployed him, it would have wasted some part of him.

Hill hasn't been as sure handed and he's turned the wrong way a few times now. Fields only INT doesn't happen if Hill turns correctly
