Justin Fields led the team all the way down deep into Badger territory with under a minute left to go before halftime. Ohio State set up on the 27-yard line with a long third down, but a beautiful play set up this score.
Chris Olave broke free in the secondary after running a beautiful route. With plenty of space between him and his defender and no help over the top, Fields placed a beautiful throw that went for the score.
It gave Ohio State an important two-possession lead at 10-0 heading into halftime:
