On offense, Justin Fields earned Ohio State's player of the game honors for the second time this year after he completed 24 of his 28 passing attempts for 314 yards and five touchdowns while also running for a 7-yard touchdown. He split this week's offensive player of the game honors with right tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere, who was credited with six knockdown blocks by the Buckeyes' coaching staff.
These two guys DOMINATED yesterday.
