Ohio State’s long-awaited 2020 season began with a win on Saturday.
While the Buckeyes’ defense gave up some plays early, Ohio State scored 38 of the game's final 41 points and pulled away for a 52-17 win thanks to an unsurprisingly brilliant performance by Justin Fields, who accounted for 330 total yards and three touchdowns to lead the home team to victory in front of a crowd of less than 1,400 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The game got off to a disastrous start for Ohio State’s defense as Nebraska needed just four plays to score the game’s first touchdown.
