Ohio State kicked off the 2015 college football season with a 42-24 victory over Virginia Tech. There was one player, Virginia Tech RB JC Coleman, who stood out and became a thing on the Internet. No, it's not because he had some ankle-breaking touchdown run.
It's because he wore a gold watch on the field. Yes, that is a gold watch the player is wearing on the field.
