Will Howard threw for three touchdowns and Jeremiah Smith set a pair of team records as No. 2 Ohio State rolled past Purdue 45-0 in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday. Smith had a 17-yard touchdown catch late in the first half to up the lead to 21-0 for the Buckeyes (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten). The score was Smith's ninth to pass Cris Carter's Ohio State freshman record for TD catches set in 1984. Smith needed three receptions to break Carter's first-year mark of 41 and he surpassed that in the first half with six catches for 87 yards. He did not have a catch in the second half.
