Watch: Justin Fields throws TD pass taking nasty hit by James Skalski
Fields #Fields
The College Football Playoff between Ohio State and Clemson turned a year ago when Trevor Lawrence was clocked by the Buckeyes’ Shaun Wade.
Could history have repeated itself in reverse in the 2021 Sugar Bowl?
Watch as Clemson’s James Skalski, a defensive leader, earns an ejection for targeting with a shot on Buckeyes quarterback Justin Fields.
Fields went out and returned, to throw a touchdown pass. He hobbled off the field in considerable pain after the hit.
After the TD pass, Fields was 12-of-13 for 172 yards and 3 TDs.
Skalski was ejected from the College Football Playoff championship game last season for another targeting foul.
There was a buzz on social media over the decision to call targeting and bounce Skalski.
