Ohio State-Clemson is finally here. The Buckeyes got the ball first and immediately began driving on the Tigers’ defense.

All was going well and then quarterback Justin Fields launched a ball toward true freshman wide receiver Garrett Wilson. It didn’t appear as though Wilson was open, but he made himself open in the air up and above a Tiger defensive back:

The play was ruled as incomplete initially, but went under review and got overturned. Wilson’s hand hit the ground before anything else, meaning he was in-bounds.

That catch, if you needed to know what Wilson was all about, gives you all you need to know.

Ohio State finished the possession with a field goal and an early 3-0 lead.
