Fields is habituated to running.  He ran in HS where he was a 220 pounder running over 200 pound LBs.  He largely ran at UGA by design.  It's deep in his mind.  It's just a thing that has to be limited, which I'm sure can be done, but it might take a couple of games.  He'll learn to scramble to keep a play alive instead of going downfield unless he can see a path to the sideline.  College LBs hit harder, duh.  He needs to avoid that contact.

He has a very good arm.  Bear in mind that quite a few Dawg fans thought he would beat out Fromm last year based on the Spring Game.  Fields thought he would beat out Fromm, or at least be used more often than he was.  This is the only "weakness" I see in his game, other than needing more experience.

Like any habit, it takes effort to break, and I expect at times he will revert.

I read somewhere he was named unofficially last spring, or something.

The preseason polls are, well, pointless really, just something to chat about.  Whether your team is 1, 3, 7, 10, doesn't matter.

Missouri may get to 8-0.  Florida and Miami play Saturday night.  Tennessee might be back, to a bowl game.  Their OOC slate is ridiculous.

I glance at the UGA sites about this time of year and the story is always the same:

1.  The players are really tight this year and working hard.
2.  They really love the coaches, the new coaches are fitting right in.
3.  Three freshmen are tearing it up in practice.
4.  The RB injured last year looks really good.
5.  The backup QB looks really good.
6.  Everyone is hungry and ready to get started.

The truth is that August is Michigan's time.

Gosh, this looks a lot like what I hear about OSU.  What are the odds?

Yup, I ignore it, or nearly all of it.  I suspect we forget when some freshman has a lot of preseason hype and then barely sees the field.  And yes, at times they do contribute majorly of course.

OSU has a ton of talent, enough to beat everyone on their schedule, and 2-3-4 games will be "50-50 games".  That is true for most of the top teams other than Clemson.  Maybe Clemson has 2 "50-50" games, maybe, not quite.

A top team needs to "hold serve" against the Purdues and Iowas and NWs and then compete and win most of the 50-50 games.  12-1 will do it if the 1 isn't the CG, usually, last year was an oddity.

Something to think about with Fields, Trevor Lawrence and other top qb comparions so far.

Fields and Trevor Lawrence both in same class in Georgia. This will be Fields 19th career start since 9th grade, Lawrence will be at 68 starts with game one this year. Both are Alpha players and difference makers. Fields has a lot of ceiling left here to grow.. https://twitter.com/247Sports/status/116...9482927104 …

Absolutely silly to compare these two kids at this point. As a true freshman, one kid led his team to a National Championship and carved up a dynasty level defense in the process. The other kid has accomplished essentially NOTHING at the collegiate level.  They are in no way comparable at this point.

Ohio State junior running back J.K. Dobbins was pleasantly surprised to be named a team captain on Monday morning.
First-year head coach Ryan Day had the team vote on the captains over the weekend and he introduced the group before Mondayâ€s practice. Dobbins is joined by classmate and defensive end Chase Young as the only other junior captain. The senior captains are WR K.J. Hill, safety Jordan Fuller, LB Tuf Borland, DE Jonathon Cooper and WR C.J. Saunders.
The 5-10, 217-pound Dobbins is back for his third season as OSUâ€s starting running back. He has earned his teamâ€s respect this off-season as being a leader during spring and summer workouts.
