Jayden Fielding Costed Ohio State Big Ten Championship As Well
Jayden Fielding was put in a tough spot in the Big Ten championship game against Indiana. He missed a 27-yard attempt with 2:48 left in the game, contributing to Ohio State’s narrow 13-10 loss.
Fielding’s latest field goal miss is a cause of concern for the program. His career strike rate has over 80% accuracy, but in tough moments, he has gotten nervous.
Despite missing the field goal in the Big Ten championship game, head coach Ryan Day confirmed that while Fielding will remain as the team’s starting kicker, there had been a competition in practice with backup kicker Jackson Courville.
“[Jackson Courville] kicked in practice during this time,” Day told reporters. “We’re gonna go with Jayden this game, but [Courville has] had an opportunity every day in practice to kick. We’ll keep a close eye on it, but we’re gonna go with Jayden to start the game.”
It remains to be seen how much Fielding’s latest missed field goal will cost Ohio State.
