Ohio State kicker completely misses game-tying field goal against Indiana in Big 10 Championship
Ohio State watched its Big Ten title hopes sail wide left on Saturday night. In a matchup billed as a heavyweight showdown between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana, it was the Buckeyes who blinked first and blinked again when it mattered most.
Trailing 13 to 10 with under three minutes left, Ohio State faced 4th and 1 at the Indiana 9-yard line. Instead of trusting their offense, Ryan Day chose the conservative route and sent out Jayden Fielding for what amounted to a glorified extra point.
Fielding entered the day nearly automatic this season, hitting 15-17 field goals and all 53 extra point attempts.
None of that mattered.
The 27-yard attempt hooked left, and Lucas Oil Stadium erupted as Indiana’s sideline realized the Buckeyes had just gift-wrapped their biggest win in 58 years.
Ohio State kicker completely misses game-tying field goal:
The 12-team College Football Playoff bracket is officially set
Fucking brutal, right? Obviously, that miss will be replayed endlessly, but it was not the only moment that cost Ohio State.
On the possession before the field goal attempt, the Buckeyes were once again inside the Indiana 10 and came up empty after a fourth-down play was overturned in the Hoosiers’ favor.
Two trips inside the 10, zero points, and a Big 10 Championship gone.
For Fielding, this is not his first high-profile meltdown. Ohio State fans still remember last season’s collapse against Michigan, and now this miss joins the list of moments that will follow him for the rest of his career.
Indiana closed out the 13-10 win and claimed its first Big Ten Championship since 1967. It was also the Hoosiers’ first victory over Ohio State in nearly 40 years, and it could not have come in more dramatic or painful fashion for the Buckeyes.
Ohio State entered the game as the top team in the country. They left it with a season-defining failure and a long offseason ahead of them.
