Michigan State won’t get a ton of pressure on Justin Fields
Michigan State safety Xavier Henderson said Ohio State has explosive receivers and Justin Fields has an arm. He said the key to stop big plays in the Buckeye passing game is taking good angles and getting the receivers to the ground. pic.twitter.com/AN4WyUMzUf

Part of making magic through the air has to do with Justin Field’s ability to have a clean pocket, remain upright and go through his progressions. On that note, it’s shouldn’t be anything like the Indiana game where he was dealing with blitzing from all angles and guys in his face more than what he’s probably seen during his time at Ohio State.
The Spartans are averaging less than two sacks a game, not exactly forcing quarterbacks to speed things up and force quick decisions. There will be some moments of durress for Fields, but the veteran and talented offensive line should be able to hold up and give him the time he needs to be Superman again.
