Loved the hit and was amazed Braxton didn't fumble. Hopefully Clark will swing through the ball or drive his helmet into his chest and cause a fumble.

Modern QB play just amazes me. These guys take ridiculous hits, hold onto the ball, and pop right back up again. And it used to be something special/rare when a college QB would improvise and deliver under intense pressure. Now they do it on every other play.

I was actually going to comment to post this very thing. I remember watching the hit live and being impressed – watching it in slow motion makes it nearly amazing. Look at Braxton's nearly instantaneous reaction to protect the ball! I hate praising a Buckeye but good lord – the ball quite literally doesn't move even a smidge.

How did he hold on to that ball?

I still can barely believe he did. When Clark made that hit I was sure we were going to see the ball come out that second, but it barely moved. Credit to Braxton
