Its like a Hallmark special for badasses. So poorly acted and predictable. Acting is like the lead up to a porn scene that never happens. I love it. Havent started S3 yet

So a Jean Claude Van Dam movie?

FIVE THINGS: HEROIC PERFORMANCE BY JUSTIN FIELDS HELPS OHIO STATE OBLITERATE CLEMSON IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SEMIFINAL

JUSTIN TIME
After a stinker in the Big Ten title game that saw him complete just 12-of-27 throws for 114 yards, a pick, and zero touchdowns for the first time as a Buckeye, Fields came out smoking and never looked back against the Tigers.

Justin hit on 11 of his first 12 passes for 163 yards and two scores before Clemson's James Skalski buried his helmet in Fields' back, earning a disqualification, while sending Fields to the medical tent in significant pain.

Fields missed just one play before returning to roll right and hit Chris Olave for a 9-yard touchdown and a 28-14 lead with 5:12 left in the first half.

Despite taking such a major shot, Fields completed 11-of-16 throws for four touchdowns after the play to finish the night with a statline of 22-for-28 for 385 yards and a Sugar Bowl record six touchdowns.

Two of those scoring strikes after the injury came via a 45-yarder to Jameson Williams and a 56-yarder to Olave.

Coming off the lackluster Big Ten title game performance and then taking a monster shot from Skalski, Fields turned in one of the greatest single-game performances by an Ohio State quarterback.

Hat tip to him for hanging in there and continuing to lead his team despite the pain.

Even if someone told him to post this, he did it. Good for him

Truth is, he’s absolutely right. Getting ejected from his final game each of the past two seasons as a captain? Not exactly a high character guy. I’m sure that coming off the roids is a valid defense in court, not so much in a CFP game.

He deserves the criticism he's getting too....

Agreed. He could've been like that kid from Mississippi State who kicked an opponent in the face and then bragged about it on Instagram.

Really? I mean, we’ll all never know... but you think for a second that he’d do anything of the like had he not gotten ejected in each of his last games in his final two seasons?

Yeah, he could have made it worse, you’re right. But let’s not knight him.

sorry but fuck you still homie

Joey Bosa dipped his head slightly so that their helmets bumped as he pushed a QB over.

Stalski lowered his helmet until he was looking straight at the ground and launched his entire body into Fields’ back crown of the helmet first.

I personally don’t find those two plays to be very comparable.

It's also not comparable to the Wade ejection like I've been hearing, unless you count the irony.

Yeah, it’s comparable in a karma sense maybe, but from a severity or technical sense? Not even close.
