Justin Fields, No. 5 Buckeyes facing big test at Nebraska

Associated Press  

— Justin Fields has been sensational in four games. Scott Frost’s first Nebraska team played Ohio State to within 36-31 in Columbus last year, and the Huskers believe they have narrowed the gap physically since then. Martinez played a strong game against the Buckeyes last season, and this year the Huskers have a new threat in freshman running back-wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson. “Got a real big challenge ahead of us this week, by far the best team that we’ve played,” first-year Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. There’s no question in my mind that Ohio State is a better team than they were a year ago.” FIELDS THE PHENOM Fields became the first Big Ten player with a passing and rushing touchdown in each of his first four games since Antwaan Randle El of Indiana in 1999.
