Purdue beat Indiana State 49-0 in their opener and lost the last seven. Last week they lost to Northwestern 26-20 in overtime, the Boilermakers’ second OT loss of the season.

The Boilermakers have been outscored 146-7 by the three College Football Playoff contenders on their schedule, including two shutouts.

Will Howard threw three touchdown passes and rushed for another score as the No. 3 Buckeyes rolled over Purdue 45-0.

Jeremiah Smith has made it a record-setting day against Purdue as the Ohio State receiver now has more catches than any other true freshman in Ohio State football history. On third and 17, Smith hauled in a catch from quarterback Will Howard that was initially ruled a 17-yard gain and a first down.
