In his first interview session with the media in more than seven months, Justin Fields’ confidence was unmistakable.
While Fields demonstrated more of a quiet confidence in his first season as Ohio State’s starting quarterback last year, showing no shortage of swagger on the field but rarely making bold comments off of it, a different side of Fields shined through on Tuesday.
Fields wasn’t afraid to stoke the flames of Ohio State’s rivalry with Michigan, saying that his goal for this year’s edition of The Game would be to “beat the brakes off them.” And when he was asked about his goals for the 2020 season as a whole, he made it clear he is expecting both himself and his team – especially his team – to be the best in the country.
