The game did not start off good for Ohio State as Blake Haubeil missed a 32 yard field goal. The Buckeyes would however come back their next offensive possession with completions to Chris Olave and KJ Hill. Justin Fields would then take it in himself from three yards out putting the Buckeyes up 7-0.
Fields would then go 14 of 24 throwing for 199 yards and three touchdowns. The first passing touchdown was to Chris Olave in the second, a nine yard touchdown to KJ Hill and a four yard pass to JK Dobbins in the third.
