Justin Fields and Chris Olave connect on perfectly thrown 57-yard deep ball to extend lead on Michigan
Published:
Ohio State and Michigan are in a battle in Ann Arbor. Who would’ve guessed?
The No. 13 Wolverines have been playing extremely well lately and have been neck-and-neck with the No. 1-ranked Buckeyes at the start of the game. Ohio State had been pounding running back J.K. Dobbins early to take a 7-6 lead, but the passing game was showing signs of life.

Late in the first quarter, Buckeye quarterback Justin Fields saw wide receiver Chris Olave streaking down the field and he delivered a perfect 57-yard pass to him in stride to extend Ohio State’s lead:

The pass could not have been better. Drew Brees? Tom Brady?
Even they would be happy to make that kind of throw. The pass, catch and run after were as good as can be and Ohio State took a 14-6 lead because of it.
Michigan has since responded, making it a 14-13 contest. The Game can be seen on FOX.
