Justin Fields, Ohio State’s quarterback, has been talked about when it comes to the Heisman Trophy for much of the year. Against Penn State last week, in the Buckeyes’ biggest game of the season — to that point — Fields performed admirably.
During the game, though, he took many more shots to his body. Part of the reason for that is he ran more. Against the Nittany Lions, Fields ran it 21 times for 68 yards. He used his legs numerous times on third down to keep Ohio State’s drives alive.
On Tuesday, during Ryan Day’s weekly press conference, he brought up Fields’ availability for the game. He said Fields, “should be good to go.”

As long as Fields is good to go, he will help the Buckeyes immensely Saturday afternoon. We’ll see soon enough just how “fine” he is.
