For the second year in a row, Ohio State hit the road to take on a Big Ten West foe and was thoroughly embarrassed. The Buckeyes suffered their first loss of the season two weeks ago, falling 49-20 to Purdue.. Ohio State not only was outplayed by the Boilermakers, but Jeff Brohm and his staff ran circles around Urban Meyer and his assistants. Now if Ohio State wants to stay in the thick of the College Football Playoff race, they can’t afford any more losses this season.
Assault on the record books
The lone bright spot for Buckeyes against Purdue was quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who continued to rewrite the Ohio State quarterback record book.
