Ohio State Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Nebraska in 2020 opener

2. Justin Fields scores six total touchdowns

Is this a crazy prediction? Yeah, probably, but hear me out. Justin Fields is one of the best players in the country and we’ve already seen Trevor Lawrence throw five touchdown passes in just one half against Georgia Tech, so what’s going to stop Fields from scoring six times against Nebraska?

Listen, Fields knows he’s behind in the early Heisman race because of the Big Ten’s late start to the season, so he’s going to have to make some noise quickly.

This will do it.

Fields will throw four touchdown passes and rush for two more as the Buckeyes take it to Nebraska’s defense early and often. He’ll also total over 350 yards and he’ll put himself right in the middle of that Heisman race immediately.

Everyone has been quick to hand Lawrence the Heisman after a month of play, but don’t sleep on Fields who will make up some serious ground against a mediocre Cornhuskers defense.
