14:30 left 4Q: Purdue's Deion Burks scores touchdown
Purdue will not be shut out in this one. Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord fumbled on the previous drive, which gave the Boilermakers the ball at the Buckeye 20-yard line. It took Purdue 6 plays, but they were able to take advantage with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Hudson Card to Deion Burks.
Ohio State 34, Purdue 7

7:35 left 3Q: Purdue misses third field goal
Julio Macias missed his third field goal of the game. This one, a 27-yard attempt, was way left. The Boilermakers decided to kick the field goal in the rain instead of going for it on 4th and 4 at OSU's 10.
4:36 left 3Q: Ohio State running away with the game after another TD
Another drive, another Ohio State touchdown. Kyle McCord threw a 14-yard touchdown to Cade Stover this time around. It was Stover's second TD catch of the day.

12:34 left 3Q: Ohio State gets the ball first after halftime and scores
There's been no stopping the Ohio State offense today. On their first drive of the second half, the Buckeyes marched down the field to score yet another touchdown. This time it came on a 1-yard Dallan Hayden run. The drive lasted 6 plays and 67 yards.
Ohio State 27, Purdue 0
Ohio State 27, Purdue 20. Markevious Brown flagged for two pass interference calls on that drive.

Halftime: Ohio State 20, Purdue 0
The Boilermakers started the drive on their own 30-yard line. Things looked promising to start with several strong runs by Devin Mockobee.
On 2nd and 10 on the OSU 22-yard line with 2:02 left, Mockobee rumbled his way for 21 yards and nearly scored. From there, Mockobee ran the ball for two straight plays, both for a loss. The Boilermakers were then called for holding. Hudson Card was also sacked for another loss of 10.
Purdue kicker Julio Macias attempted a 39-yard field attempt, but it hit the left upright. Just a brutal ending after having the ball on the 1-yard line with it being 1st down.
Card completed 7 of 14 pass attempts for 47 yards. Mockobee ran the ball 10 times for 64 yards. On defense, Yanni Karlaftis and Markevious Brown lead the way with 5 total tackles.
Ohio State 20, Purdue 0. Halftime. Ohio State has 269 yards of offense. Purdue 1-7 on third downs. 0-2 on field goals on the only two drives that showed any semblance of life.

6:07 left 2Q: Cade Stover catches TD pass for Ohio State
The Buckeyes took over at their own 27-yard line and again drove down the field with relative ease. They ended the 11-play, 73-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass from Kyle McCord to Cade Stover. OSU faced 3rd down just twice in that span.

11:29 left 2Q: Purdue recovers fumble
Ohio State's offense was again overwhelming Purdue as it drove into Boilermaker territory again. But this time around, Purdue's defense forced a fumble and it was recovered by Kydran Jenkins. Unfortunately for Purdue, the offense then went 3 and out again.
Boilermakers go three-and-out, hindered by a sack. On third-and-15, Boilers toss to Dixon-Veal for a short gain. Ansell on to punt.

3:44 left 1Q: Devin Brown extends Ohio State's lead
After Purdue went 3 and out in its second drive, Ohio State scored another touchdown. This time around, backup quarterback Devin Brown ran in a 2-yard score.

Purdue's Ethan Trent, Tyler Trent's brother, on ESPN's College GameDay
Almost exactly five years ago, Purdue dominated No. 3 Ohio State in a 49-20 upset win. The game lives on in history not only because of the underdog story, but also because of a Purdue student, Tyler Trent, and his impact on the Boilermakers while battling cancer.
The story of the Purdue superfan was featured on ESPN's "College GameDay" ahead of the Boilermakers' game against Ohio State in 2018. He won the hearts of college football fans across the nation with the strength he displayed while battling a rare form of bone cancer. He died on Jan. 1, 2019.
Tyler is the oldest of three brothers, with the youngest, Ethan Trent, serving a prominent role on the "GameDay" story from 2018. Five years later, Ethan is now a walk-on offensive lineman at Purdue continuing Tyler's legacy.
Ethan was featured on ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday morning ahead of Purdue's first game hosting Ohio State in West Lafayette since that magical matchup in 2018. Read more here.
"I did it, I'm here and I know he's proud."
Tyler Trent's legacy continues to carry on as his brother Ethan is now a walk-on for Tyler's beloved Boilermakers 💛@JenLada | #CollegeGameDay pic.twitter.com/x3fC9ecuBo— College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) October 14, 2023
9:11 left 1Q: Marvin Harrison Jr. gets Ohio State on the board
Ohio State began the drive at its own 31-yard line but chipped away at Purdue's defense with an 8-play, 69-yard drive that ended with a 14-yard touchdown catch by Marvin Harrison Jr. However, Ohio State kicker Jayden Fielding missed the extra point.

Marvin Harrison Jr. caps the drive with a 14-yard TD catch. With Emeka Egbuka out, Purdue should expect a heavy dose of MHJ. https://t.co/AZG2At35ke

11:54 left 1Q: Purdue marches into Ohio State territory, but misses FG
A promising first drive by the Boilermakers ended in a missed 48-yard field goal attempt. During the drive, Devin Mockobee had 3 carries for 26 yards.
A Purdue drive that started with a lot of promise ends with Julio Macias missing a 48-yard field goal. Purdue's kicking woes continue.
