Justin Fields and the Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Nebraska to take on the Cornhuskers on Saturday night in primetime. The Buckeyes will look to stay undefeated and go 5-0 on the season headed into Lincoln.
We will see a high powered offense fueled by the transfer quarterback from Georgia Justin Fields as he plays in his second Big 10 game.
Nebraska was just a hair away from being undefeated on the season coming into this big matchup at home. Losing to Colorado in Boulder where they lost by just a field goal, but were favored to win the game.

This should be a really fun matchup to watch because of two elite quarterbacks face off for the first time. Both with big-play ability and cannons for arms, this should make this matchup an exciting one.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State has a lot to play for as they try and get to the College Football Playoff after missing the playoff just last year. Instead, the Buckeyes beat the UW Huskies in the Rose Bowl to end their season.
A lot has changed since just last year with the addition of Justin Fields. Justin Fields comes into the game a Heisman contender and proving to the college football world just how electric he can be when he steps on the field.
Fields have 13 touchdowns and no interceptions coming into his fifth game. He has added six touchdowns on the ground and is always a threat to run the ball in any situation.
The high powered offense of Ohio State is averaging 53 points a game and is showing no signs of slowing down. Even with a great defense that is only allowing nine points a game on the other side of the ball, OSU could boat race just about anyone in the country.

We should see the OSU football squad flex their muscle at Nebraska, showing the country why they are a top-five team in all of the polls.
Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are not here to roll over either, they tout a 3-1 record with a great offense as well. Sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez comes into the game with over 1000 passing yards and has only thrown two interceptions.
Bouncing back after a rough year last year, the Cornhuskers look to make a big leap in year two of Scott Frost’s tenure.
Adrian Martinez will be a key come Saturday night trying to put points on the board to keep the crowd in the game, but most importantly for ball security as well. The Ohio State defense forces a ton of turnovers and to win against such a great offense you will have to control the time of possession.
Martinez and the rest of the Cornhuskers have a tall task in front of them on Saturday with a top-five team coming into their house. They could play spoiler as we have seen many times in Lincoln but will have to clean up their defense quite a bit.
They will need to control the pace of the game and really limit the number of chances that Ohio State has in order to win Saturday.

Even with the home-field advantage, Ohio State should take care of business on Saturday and keep rolling on offense. Fields might have his primetime moment on Saturday being able to carve up the Nebraska defense.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Ohio State -17.5.
You know Ohio State is going to be able to put up points against the Cornhuskers, it is just a question if Nebraska is able to keep up with them at home. With the home-field advantage, this line looks pretty big, but Ohio State is just too dang good to keep these guys hanging around. I expect the Buckeyes to finish the job in Lincoln.
Justin Fields should be a huge part of the reason why the Buckeyes are able to win in Lincoln even on the road at night which is one of the toughest places to play in the country. Fields played big-time football in Georgia and I believe he will be up for the challenge to not only win but cover this spread.
