Justin Fields remains incredible.
Continuing to make his case to be viewed as Ohio State's best quarterback ever, he's out-dueling Clemson's Trevor Lawrence in an offense-filled Sugar Bowl on Friday that includes him uncorking a pair of bombs to Chris Olave and Jameson Williams.
Fields dropped back after a play-action fake to Trey Sermon, settled into the pocket and launched a pass about 60 yards in the air to Olave for a 56-yard touchdown that gave the Buckeyes a 42-21 third-quarter lead. It was Olave's second score of the game.

Fields wasted no time going back to the air.
Two drives later, he reared back to hoist a 45-yard touchdown pass to Williams who unsurprisingly did what he does best, toasting a Clemson defensive back with his otherworldly speed. That score put the Buckeyes ahead, 49-21, with 14:03 left in Friday's game.
