" JUSTIN FIELDS PICKS OHIO STATE BY 50 POINTS‼️"
Justin Fields played two seasons with the Buckeyes, making the College Football Playoffs on both occasions. During the 2020 season, Fields played in the National Championship game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. However, Fields' Buckeyes lost the game 52-24.
After his time with Ohio State, Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears. He remained with the Bears till 2023, but couldn't lead the team to promise land. Caleb Williams took over the job in the 2024 season, prompting his move to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Here, he is playing alongside veteran quarterback Russell Wilson on a Steelers team that is in the running for the playoffs.
Who did the College Game Day panel pick?
Desmond Howard went with the Indiana Hoosiers to deliver the upset. Howard went to Michigan and won the Heisman Trophy at the school.
Former Alabama coach Nick Saban went with the Buckeyes, saying that the Ohio State squad was just too good for Indiana.
Kirk Herbstreit picked the Buckeyes to win the game, while Pat McAfee chose the Indiana Hoosiers.
However, whoever wins the game will have a massive advantage in the race for the Big Ten Championship game.
Going into the game, the undefeated Hoosiers are ranked above the Buckeyes, but if Ohio State wins, victory against rivals the Michigan Wolverines would put them into the championship game against Oregon.
