Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones and a few other members of the Buckeye football team stopped by Nationwide Children's Hospital in downtown Columbus yesterday to pay forward.
While there, Jones picked up the sticks to face Jared, a patient at the hospital, in EA's NCAA Football 14. Jones would play as last year's Ohio State team – remember EA was forced to kill the franchise – while Jared would roll with the Georgia Bulldogs.
Things started off well enough for Jared as he jumped out to a quick lead minutes into the first quarter:

Jones would answer quickly, however:

The teams would trade scores well into the 3rd quarter, before Jones opened up a two-score lead, thanks to a Bradley Roby interception:

And then Carlos Hyde got in on the action...

Things got uglier from there, with Jones hanging 91 on the Jared, the kid recovering from surgery in the hospital:

Cardale, playing as himself, finished with nearly 600 yards of total offense and 7 total touchdowns on his way to being named player of game:

And that's how Cardale Jones channeled his inner Dave Chappelle and crushed a kid at the hospital in EA's NCAA Football.
