LaDainian Fields...Proud of you sir! Fields absolutely balled out on Saturday night. He had the big tackle in the 1st half where he blew up a screen play, then several other very physical plays in the run game too. Then, he had the 2 picks. Despite the fact that the defense didn't play great in the 1st half, I think Saturday was the best game he's played in an OSU uniform. And, when I say that, there are layers to that. First, he played great at the end of last year, but it was such low stakes that, while he shined in the metrics, I still think the takeaways were fairly limited. So, when I say "best in an OSU uniform", I'm taking into account the opponent, and importance of the game and in him playing well. Also, the secondary got beat up pretty good by Social Media and the likes after the Houston game. Like everything, I'm sure some of it was fair, while other parts of it wasn't. Then the 1st half Saturday happened, and, TBH, that was adversity. And he handled that by putting together a GREAT half of football, which goes to show how competitive he is, and his ability to tune out the noise and just do what he's capable of...Which is quite a bit. Also, gotta say, with the way he played on Saturday, he deserved more of an opportunity to celebrate what he'd accomplished than what I gave him in this interview. This was a poor job on my part matching tone and detail with the moment. So, my bad on that! Well done LaDainian...Keep ringin' that Cowbell! #GoPokes #OkState
