Ep. 194: Examining every aspect of Justin Fields as Ohio State’s quarterback
Doug and Stephen break down the new OSU QB after watching his film and the documentary series he was a part of, talking to people in Georgia and crunching the numbers on OSU quarterbacks.
Ohio State opens spring football practice next week with a new Buckeye in the middle of everything.
Justin Fields, the former five-star recruit and recent transfer from Georgia, will open the 2019 season as the Buckeyes starting quarterback, barring any huge surprise. He’ll certainly open spring as the player Ohio State fans are most curious about.
On this Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means and Doug Lesmerises examine every aspect of Fields - as a person, a runner and a thrower. They watched film of his highlights from high school and college, watched the 10-part TV documentary he was featured in, talked to people who knew him at Georgia and crunched the numbers to compare him to OSU quarterbacks of the past.
The result in a two-hour podcast that should give you an overview of Fields heading into spring and a realistic view of how he might replace Dwayne Haskins as the Buckeyes starting quarterback.
They also led off with a quick discussion about the NCAA Tournament hopes for the basketball Buckeyes after their win over Iowa. But mostly, this is all about Fields.
