Just as No. 2 Ohio State was wrapping up a hard-fought win over No. 8 Penn State, a worst-case scenario for OSU fans flashed before their eyes.
Holding a 28-17 lead with 2:17 to play, Ryan Day curiously opted to keep his offense on the field on fourth-and-5 from the Penn State 27-yard line. Justin Fields, OSU’s star quarterback, dropped back, couldn’t find anybody open and felt pressure from Penn State safety Lamont Wade. With Wade crashing down, Fields tried to evade him but was sacked from behind.
As Fields went down, his foot was caught awkwardly beneath him.
