Purdue upset highly ranked Ohio State in year two of the Jeff Brohm era in 2018. Can first-year coach Ryan Walters recapture that magic on Saturday? The odds will be heavily stacked against the Boilermakers.
Ohio State is rolling right along at 5-0, despite slow starts against Notre Dame and Maryland over the last three weeks. Kyle McCord has started to settle in as the Buckeyes' starting quarterback, and Marvin Harrison Jr. looks like arguably the most gifted wide receiver in the nation.
Can Purdue slow that tandem down? The Boilermakers have gotten off to a rocky 2-4 start, though a 25-point win over Illinois two weeks ago stands as a sign of progress for a program in transition. Purdue came up painfully short against Iowa last Saturday, despite holding the Hawkeyes to just six completed passes.
If the Boilermakers couldn't keep up with Iowa's dismal offense, it's going to take a dramatic effort to keep up with Ohio State's. The Buckeyes have a College Football Playoff berth firmly in their sights, and Purdue is hoping to make Saturday's game more than just a warmup for Ohio State's more daunting games later in the season.
