Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields threw as many interceptions on Saturday as he did in all of 2019. And the Buckeyes still won.
Fields threw three interceptions against No. 9 Indiana. But the Hoosiers were largely unable to capitalize on those turnovers and committed three of their own in the Buckeyes’ 42-35 win.
There were two second-half instances that perfectly summed up Indiana’s day. The Hoosiers pulled within 14 points with 5:14 to go in the third quarter and immediately forced Ohio State to punt. Could Indiana pull within a score then?
No. Star Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade picked off Michael Penix Jr.
