Currently, Ohio State sits in a College Football Playoff spot. For the Buckeyes to stay on the inside track to the CFP bracket, they’ll have to handle their business against Purdue on Saturday in Columbus.
The Buckeyes are coming off a 26-17 win over Nebraska last week. While the victory was the biggest loss the Cornhuskers were handed this year, Ohio State didn’t exactly impress all that much. Just a few hours before the game, the Buckeyes were dealt a blow when it was announced Garrett Wilson wouldn’t play due to being in concussion protocol. With Wilson out of the lineup, Ohio State’s offense wasn’t quite as crisp as normal, despite all of Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s heroics.
