It didn't take long for Justin Fields to earn his first player of the game award from Ohio State.

After accounting for 295 total yards (234 passing, 61 rushing) and five total touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) in his Ohio State debut, Fields was named as the Buckeyes' offensive player of the game for their 45-21 season-opening win over FAU.

Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, who three total tackles with 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup in his first game of the season, shared the Buckeyes' defensive player of the game honors with linebacker Malik Harrison, who recorded five total tackles with two tackles for loss and a sack in the season opener.

Demario McCall, who had 52 yards on two kickoff returns and 40 yards on two punt returns, shared special teams player of the game recognition with safety Isaiah Pryor, who was a staple on the Buckeyes' special teams units Saturday, recorded two tackles on punts and accumulated 22 special teams production points from Ohio State's coaches' grading.
