TSB Staff Picks: Ohio State returns home after defeating Penn State to face another conference test against Purdue.
Dave: Ohio State 42 Purdue 10
Blake: The Buckeyes put together another strong showing as the team continues to peak. I think Ohio State RBs and DL are the story from this game as both units have big days. Will Howard and Julian Sayin also have strong performances. Ohio State 41 Purdue 6
Dan: Purdue might be the best 1-7 team of all time. They have faced an absolute gauntlet of a schedule. The good news is they will soon be the best 1-8 team of all time. Ohio State dominates the hopeful “Spoilermakers” 59-7. Buckeyes continue to show domination after last week’s big win against Penn State!
Cass: Ohio State coming into this game vs Purdue after massive win in State College against Penn State. Buckeyes will handle business this week with big victory. Look for the Buckeyes to jump on Purdue early and the starters be resting by the start of the fourth quarter. Look for big days out of the running backs as more than three running backs will score a touchdown. I think the defense will pitch a shut out and force Card to make mistakes. Buckeyes win 52-0
Carson H: The offensive line and ground game found their mojo last week, and the air raid will be on full display in the first half of this game. Hopefully, everyone gets in on the action and then gets some rest in the fourth quarter. TreVeyon Henderson will hopefully see more action early and find the endzone. Wideouts Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss may see more usage and targets as Tate finds the endzone.
The defense showed out at all levels against the Penn State offense last week and played well the week prior against Nebraska. I could see them giving up one touchdown the whole game, and maybe not even one. The defense has the ability to test some schemes out against an inferior opponent and offense, with depth pieces getting their time to shine. The Buckeyes roll from start to finish as they are starting to become a very complete team. Ohio State 45 Purdue 10
Carson M: Ohio State shows up as expected! This game becomes a confidence builder as Ohio State starts to flex its muscle down the stretch. Ohio State 45 Purdue 6
AJ: Ohio State 56 Purdue 7
