Welcome to college football, Cardale Jones. You're a third-string quarterback with no starting experience and now all you're expected to do is lead your team against No. 13 Wisconsin with a Big Ten title and a possible playoff berth hanging in the balance.

No pressure at all, right?

Enter Joshua Chambers, a boy in Florida battling an opponent far more fearsome than the Badgers' front seven. Joshua -- whose family originates from Perrysburg, Ohio -- is a huge Buckeyes fan who is fighting high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia and he's kept in touch with some of Ohio State's players throughout the process.

This past summer, Ohio State linebacker Joshua Perry asked a bunch of his teammates to film short cell-phone videos with inspiring messages that he would forward as gifts of hope and joy for a boy who idolizes football players who wear the scarlet and gray.

So during the season, Chambers has returned the favor -- keeping the Buckeyes' spirits up with his video pep talks that always feature the phrase "Be brave." He was even able to deliver the message in person this fall when he was able to fly up to Columbus and meet the players he had been in touch with, along with watching his first Ohio State game in person with sideline passes to the Nov. 22 matchup against Indiana. (Pics of that trip, along with details of Joshua's story, can be found here.)

That brings it back to Jones, who is facing the biggest game of his life, with the pressure of a football-mad state and a gigantic fan base resting squarely on his shoulders as the Bucks are suddenly underdogs with standout quarterback J.T. Barrett sidelined with an ankle injury.

But young Joshua, who is currently in remission but will continue to undergo chemotherapy until the summer of 2016, believes in Ohio State's latest starting quarterback and he wanted to let him know just that.

"The Cardale video was to hopefully lend an ounce of inspiration to him in the midst of what seems to be a lot of doubt surrounding his ability," Joshua's father, Jeremy, told Fox Sports Ohio. "Joshua believes that he can do it, and that the Buckeyes will win."

No matter who you are rooting for in Saturday's Big Ten title game, it's not hard to love the genuine connection this 5-year-old has built with his new OSU family.

"He knows that they help him, but that his little messages and phone calls help inspire them as well," Chambers said. "And it really speaks volumes to the impact the program has had on our son's battle."

It's an impact that will live on far longer than the length of Joshua's chemotherapy treatments, too.

Inspired by their son's messages of hope, Jeremy and his wife Mina started the Be Brave Foundation, which aims to offer financial support to families in Central Florida who have children undergoing treatment for pediatric cancer.

So really, it's about more than just a viral video that takes 10 seconds to watch. And it's certainly about more than just a big football game.

It's about something real. Something meaningful.

Even the biggest cynics among us can surely appreciate that.
