After scoring just two offensive touchdowns in each of its previous two games, Ohio State didn’t have any problem finding the end zone against Purdue.
The Buckeyes’ defense had some trouble keeping Purdue out of the end zone, but Ohio State’s offense more than made up for it, as the fourth-ranked Buckeyes scored eight touchdowns on their first 10 possessions to roll over the 19th-ranked Boilermakers for a 59-31 win.
The game got off to an optimal start for Ohio State on both sides of the ball, as the Buckeyes forced a 3-and-out on Purdue’s opening possession of the game, got the ball back at Purdue’s 39-yard line after a 16-yard punt and took advantage as Garrett Wilson got wide open on 3rd-and-6 to catch a 21-yard touchdown pass from C.
