Justin Fields will light it up through the air
The last time we saw Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields, he was struggling a bit against a Northwestern defense that forced him to check down and be patient. It didn’t go well and you would think that Clemson has taken notice. The problem there is that the Tigers aren’t built for that type of defense.
Defensive coordinator Brent Venables is going to be aggressive and challenge the OSU receivers. There will also be multiple looks and a ton of pressure packages built on getting to the OSU quarterback. There will be some sacks and misfires because of it, but it’s a risk/reward that Fields will take advantage of with 1:1 matchups and open receivers that get separation.
He’ll be much better in this one and sling it around for over 300 yards.
