Jayden Fielding bounces back from his recent struggles, Cody Simon has what might be his best game yet and Ohio State dominates on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
One of the biggest questions going into the Rose Bowl was whether Ohio State would be able to rely on Jayden Fielding. The Ohio State kicker had missed three of his last four field goal attempts entering the Rose Bowl, but he delivered when called upon in Pasadena.
“It’s one hell of a way to start a game, I'll say that,” Fielding said of that field goal. “So yeah, it was a great feeling. The celebration I had with Coach Day, it was just icing on the cake.”Cody Simon has emerged as one of the nation’s premier linebackers through the back half of Ohio State’s season, but his outing in the Rose Bowl may have been the best of his career yet.
“That was obviously one of our letdown games for our defense,” Simon said. “One of the biggest thing we changed was our attitude and mentality. There were plays in the game we weren't aligned or ready to go. With an offense like that for Oregon, they thrive on that stuff. For us, it was just that mentality we had to change. We went through a lot of tough conversations after that game and a lot of changes we had to make, but I think we're better for it now.
Starting Oregon running back Jordan James collected just 14 yards on seven carries before exiting with injury. Three of his seven runs went for no gain or negative yardage. Backup running back Noah Whittington fared even worse, with six carries for three yards and just two runs that advanced his offense.
