To anyone that looks at the stat sheet, it would seem Justin Fields had a good game against Indiana. However, he expects even more out of himself.
The Ohio State quarterback was a key cog in leading the Buckeyes to their first conference win of the season. Fields went 14-for-24 passing with 199 yards and 3 TDs. He also added a score on the ground.

Not only were his personal numbers solid, but Ohio State’s offense as a whole was clicking against the Hoosiers. The Buckeyes scored 51 points and gained over 500 yards of offense in the blowout.
Still, despite those numbers, Fields was not satisfied with his performance. After the game, he said he did not live up to his standard and missed a lot of throws throughout the game:
Justin Fields says he didn’t play up to his potential today. He says he “missed way too many throws.”

It is good to see Fields staying hungry despite a comfortable win, but maybe he is a bit too hard on himself. He played well while capturing his first B1G win as a starter.
