With Ohio State up a touchdown and rotating heavily on the defensive side of the ball, Purdue found itself inside the 5-yard line. But despite being massive underdogs, the Boilermakers trotted out the field goal unit for a 20-yard attempt. The kick went wide right.

Here are four things we learned from Ohio State’s 45-0 win over Purdue on Saturday: Ryan Day pointed to last week’s win at Penn State as a potential springboard for the Buckeyes. The ascendance continued against the Boilermakers.

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.
