Ohio State looks to avenge its loss from five years ago and finish the first half of the regular season strong as it plays its first road game at Purdue since 2018 on Saturday.
Five years after suffering an infamous 49-20 loss in West Lafayette, Ohio State finally returns to Purdue this weekend for a shot at revenge in Ross-Ade Stadium.
“It's been a difficult place to play, for sure. And this team is no different. They're very well-coached. They have good players. And I know they’ll have a great atmosphere there,” Ryan Day said. “So we're into October now, middle of the season, playing on the road in the Big Ten. All these games are critical and difficult. So we gotta have a great week of preparation, and that's just about what we expect this time of year.
Film Study: Until Ohio State's O-Line Improves at Getting to Second Level Defenders, the Run Game Will Continue to Struggle On paper, the Boilermakers should pose less of a threat to the Buckeye defense than Maryland and Notre Dame did, but defensive coordinator Jim Knowles says his unit still has to be prepared for a challenge.
“I feel like if there's any position room that could have a next guy up and really not skip a beat, it would be that receiver room,” Kyle McCord said. “So regardless of if Mek is gonna play or not, I'm not sure, but just having confidence in the guys in that room, we're extremely deep in that room. So I think regardless of who goes out there, if he doesn't play, I don't think we'll miss a beat.
Jenkins and Scourton have been the Big Ten’s most productive pass-rushing tandem so far this season. Jenkins leads the conference with four sacks this season while Scourton is tied for second with 3.5 sacks. Jenkins also leads the Big Ten with 30 total quarterback pressures, according toThe Boilermakers’ two edge-rushing linebackers have made their share of plays against the run, too, as they’re tied for the third in the Big Ten with six tackles for loss each.
“Obviously a lot of skill guys, receivers, a good running back. I would say a very basic offense, though. Some things that we have seen before. But they’ve got some nice guys out there.”One of Purdue’s top defenders seemed unimpressed with Ohio State’s offensive scheme during his interview session with Purdue reporters on Wednesday, though he acknowledged the talent of the Buckeyes’ offensive playmakers.Ohio State has a 40-15-2 all-time record against Purdue.
