Fields throws 5 TDs passes, No. 3 Ohio State beats Rutgers Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields throws a pass against Rutgers during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020, in Columbus, Ohio Justin Fields threw five touchdown passes, and No. 3 Ohio State won a Big Ten game on Saturday night.
