The Buckeyes entered the quarter with a 7-5 lead, but by the time Fields was done inflicting damage, the scoreboard read 49-5. He was simply unstoppable out there, carving up the defense with both his arm and legs.
In all, Fields completed 14-of-21 passes for 223 yards and the four touchdowns, while rushing nine times for 36 yards and two scores.
Justin Fields is the first player with 4 Pass TDs and 2 Rush TDs in the first half since Lamar Jackson in 2016 ?

He's now responsible for an FBS-best 19 touchdowns on the year, as he's got this Ohio State offense off to a sensational start in his first year as a starting signal caller at the college level.
Transferring from the shadow of Jake Fromm may have been the best decision of Fields' life, as he's showcasing just how good he is in Columbus.
