"Craig Krenzel strikes, with a minute and a half left."
Undefeated and No. 3-ranked Ohio State found itself trailing unranked Purdue 6-3 with just under a minute remaining. The Buckeyes faced a fourth-and-1 from just outside field goal range without their starting tailback and with the game and the season on the line.
Craig Krenzel took the snap from under center and dropped back to pass, but Purdue, presumably selling out on the run, rushed seven men. The Boilermakers blew up the play and gave Krenzel little time to make a decision and no space to scramble for a first down.
