Published:
Saturday night football is great.
There’s no way around it. And for the Big Ten, No. 2 Ohio State looks to be in a battle on the road against Purdue.
The Boilermakers may only be 3-3 overall this season, but the team is trending in the right direction under QB David Blough and freshman WR Rondale Moore. By the end of the first quarter, Purdue led 7-0.
The Buckeyes had an almost perfect punt pin Purdue back to its own 2-yard-line. Then, a 98-yard drive ensued.
Here’s how it ended:
Stop this foolishness, @_Zicoooo! 😱😱

Blough threw a very nice ball to the corner of the end-zone where only Isaac Zico could catch it. Zico did so, and in spectacular fashion, too.
Ohio State has since kicked a field goal, but Purdue still leads 7-3 in the second quarter. The game can be seen on ABC.
