Justin Fields and Drue Chrisman are both Big Ten Players of the Week for their performances at Michigan State.

Fields earns Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors for the second time this season after he threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a career-high 104 yards and another two touchdowns – all without three of the Buckeyes' regular starting offensive linemen – in Ohio State's 52-12 win over Michigan State.

Fields was previously Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week after he threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns in Ohio State's second game of the season against Penn State.

Chrisman shares this week's Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honors with Indiana punter Haydon Whitehead after an excellent punting performance in East Lansing in which he averaged 53.4 yards per punt on five punts, downed two punts inside the 2-yard line and had a career-long 74-yard punt, the eighth-longest punt in Ohio State history.

Chrisman previously earned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honors for his performance last year against Cincinnati.
