All week long, No. 4 Ohio State has been warned about the potential upset alert that Purdue would bring. Earlier this season, Purdue upset No. 2 Iowa on the road 24-7 and No. 4 Michigan State at home 40-29 last week.

Ohio State made sure they were not going to be victims of Purdue this season as they jumped to a big 45-17 lead in the first half. Offensively, Ohio State dominated Purdue’s efficient defense through stellar performances in the passing game and through the ground.

Ohio State has outgained Purdue in total yards accounted for 386-to-254. Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 19-of-25 completions for 212 yards and three touchdowns while averaging 8.5 yards per pass.

Ohio State has rushed for 174 yards and three touchdowns on 13 carries for an average of 13.4 yards per rush. Running back TreVeyon Henderson has rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns on six carries for an average of 12 yards per carry.
