Ohio State has a QB that’s underrated at slinging it around the yard

Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields hasn’t had to put the cape on much for this Buckeye squad, but if he has to, he’s more than capable. So far in 2019 we’ve seen a rinse and repeat performance from OSU. Use a balanced attack to beat the opponent into submission, let the starter play a little into the 3rd quarter, then let the guys deeper down on the depth chart cruise through a blowout.
But don’t think last week was a mistake. Ryan Day let Fields unleash some throws down the field more because he likely knew what was coming this week. And the Buckeye signal-caller didn’t disappoint, throwing for his first career +300 yard day and only misfiring four times in nineteen tries. Oh, and he threw in four touchdowns for good measure.
Penn State might very well key in on J.K. Dobbins and the running game Saturday, and it has the personnel to make life difficult. A lesser team might fold, but there will be things open down the field in one-on-one matchups and Fields could make the difference with his arm.
