Even without Ryan Day, three starting offensive linemen and two captains, Ohio State had its most dominant performance of the season to date against Michigan State on Saturday.
Ohio State had three new starters in on its offensive line with Thayer Munford, Josh Myers and Nicholas Petit-Frere all out, but Justin Fields still made plays all day with both his arm and legs, while the defense was dominant even without Tuf Borland, Josh Proctor and Tyler Friday, allowing the Buckeyes to a roll to an 52-12 win in East Lansing.
After forcing a 3-and-out on its opening defensive series, Ohio State drove 83 yards on 12 plays to score on its opening possession.
