LINCOLN, Neb. – In the first five games of 2018, a historic offensive season, Ohio State racked up 245 points.
Five games into the 2019 season, the Buckeyes already have scored 262 points. In every victory, including the 48-7 win against Nebraska on Saturday, they've compiled more than 40 points. The rapid ascension of Justin Fields has, of course, played a major role in the early season success.
Fields completed 15-of-21 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns, adding 12 rushes for 72 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Still, he hasn't thrown an interception this season.
