WEEK 1 STATS: 1 reception, 34 receiving yards, 1 First Down
Fields’ heroics made Central Connecticut’s upset of Towson possible. The first catch of the rookie receiver’s career kept the game-winning drive alive. With Central trailing 27-24 and facing a 4th-and-13 in the game’s final minute, Fields pulled in a 34-yard reception and absorbed a hit while doing so. His clutch catch gave CCSU a 1st-and-Goal at the Towson 2-yard line. The play was one of 11 passing first downs produced by the Blue Devils’ aerial attack in the 31-27 victory over last season’s FCS runner-up.
